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.<>
