Abstract

PECOLE (Peer-to-pEer COLlaborative Environment) is a fully decentralized multimedia collaborative environment that supports a wide range of collaborative multimedia applications, including chat, shared browsing, shared telepointer, multipoint-to-multipoint audio/video conferencing and multilingual collaboration. PECOLE can intelligently run on very constrained resources, is highly resilient, scalable and does not rely on dedicated servers. Instead, PECOLE is built upon a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) overlay network, using SUN's JXTA framework and SWT technology. In this paper, we present the architecture and implementation of PECOLE with the performance results of the tests we conducted.
