Abstract

It is pointed out that, as personal computers move from their current role of personal productivity aids to enhancing the work of cooperating teams of individuals, technologies are developing that allow a richer style of communication and interaction. The integration of computer-generated graphics, compressed motion video and high-fidelity audio into network-distributed software systems promises to bring new challenges to the software architecture of these systems. The author discusses some of these challenges.<>
