dc.description.abstract | The evolution of computer based collaborative environments has resulted in easier and more economical design efforts among geographically distributed design teams. Most of today's internet based collaborative applications allow people that are geographically dispersed to meet with each other using their computers and work together without actually having to travel. A prototype system was developed by taking two tactical planning applications and incorporating them into the collaboration model employed by CAIRO (Collaborative Agent Interaction control and synchROnization). This system was developed based on the collaboration infrastructure that was developed as a part of the Da-Vinci Society Initiative at MIT. The main focus of this research lies in the formalization of a multi-media based architecture that supplements the existing collaboration infrastructure. This architecture lays the groundwork for development of a robust collaboration system that incorporates audio/video conferencing, speech recognition and synthesis and three-dimensional virtual meeting environments in order to facilitate efficient collaboration. | en_US |
