Composite Search for Distributed Multimedia Recorded Meetings

To encourage enterprise knowledge sharing especially, to facilitate the discovery and sharing of enterprise meetings, we develop an end-to-end enterprise meeting service called Agora that manages the full cycle of hosting web meetings and sharing multimedia recorded meeting artifacts. In this paper, we focus on Agora´s composite search engine that allows users to seamlessly search distributed multimedia meeting artifacts. Agora has been deployed as a cloud service which allows selected IBM customers to test new collaborative technologies on IBM´s Smart Cloud platform.
