Abstract
To enable remote collaboration among knowledge workers, there has been extensive research about prototyping network-based multiparty collaboration environments. Particularly, it is necessary to solve the configuration difficulties that arise from different settings of various tools in traditional room-based collaboration systems. To ease these difficulties, in this paper, we design a service composition oriented framework for the SMeet (Smart Meeting Space) multiparty collaboration environments by following the SOA (service oriented architecture) design principles. The proposed framework aims to facilitate the flexible configuration of diverse networked devices and associated application tools for successful multiparty collaboration. According to a pre-defined template, it helps the operators and users to compose services that are dispersed across remote sites. By leveraging open-source agent middleware, we also develop a SMeet toolkit with GUIs (graphical user interfaces) to assist the easily-configurable realization of SMeet multiparty collaboration environments. The developed SMeet toolkit is utilized to realize a remote collaboration scenario between two SMeet prototype sites, by enabling the network-based interactive sharing of HD-quality media on networked tiled displays (NeTDs).
