Abstract

A user interface in a multimedia conference system is designed and implemented. The system allows a group of users to conduct a meeting in real time. Participants can jointly view and edit relevant multimedia information, including text, graphics, and still images distributed throughout the network. Participants can also communicate simultaneously by voice to discuss the information they are sharing. This multimedia conference system can be used in a wide variety of cooperative work environment, such as distributed software development, joint authoring, and group decision-support
