Main use of multimedia : research tool
Brief description : Multimedia communications is one of the key technologies for the future,
and
can bring substantial benefits to the HE community. However, the current multicast has to be
enhanced before we can make wide area multimedia communications available for regular
use.
The purpose of this research is to enhance the multicast software in terms of scaling,
resource
management and regulation of use, and then to bring wide area multimedia communications
to
the HE community. We intend to set up the UK-MBONE among HE institutions, and to
provide
system and application software, and technical support.
