Abstract

Advances of the Internet infra-structure with its high bandwidth will provide for the first time the opportunity for Cooperative work over the Internet. A typical example is a group of physicians discussing together or browsing separately a patient file which includes CT images, voice fragments, tests results, etc.This paper presents an architecture and a prototype for a multimedia cooperative work environment. The highlights of this system include: a general architecture for cooperative work over the Internet, an object-oriented multi-media database, a new and original presentation module which makes presentation decisions based on author preferences, user needs and actions, and net work constraints, andin tegration of several multi-media processing modules which can process images, voice, or textual documents. Some examples of the system operation in the medical domain are also presented.
