Abstract :
Discuss attributes for multimedia multipoint communications services and describe a prototype system which is targeted at testing service concepts and evolving technologies that will stimulate the widespread deployment of multimedia group communications in future broadband networks. Personal teleconferencing in various forms is included in this service environment. A framework is proposed for categorizing various forms of communications media interrelationships. Users are provided with the flexibility to invoke each medium at any time and control various modes of media integration dynamically. An experimental graphical user interface has been proposed and implemented in the X Window System. The attributes of a high-end workstation matched to the proposed service are discussed
