Abstract

JVTOS (Joint Viewing and Tele-Operation Service), which is being implemented within CEC/RACE II project CIO (R2060), is a new teleservice for high-speed networks enabling distributed users to work in a collaborative fashion with multimedia. Core functionality of JVTOS is provided by an application sharing service that allows multimedia applications to be displayed and interacted with on multiple users´ workstations simultaneously. The focus of this paper is on the audio/video elements of shared applications. We discuss the problems of sharing multimedia applications and describe our conception that supports interoperability between heterogeneous platforms
