Abstract

This paper describes Distributed Knowledge Worker (DKW): a prototype multi-point desktop conferencing system that enables users to initiate and conduct business meetings using an ordinary computer and standard communications hardware. We present a statement of the problem that led to the development of DKW; the research strategy undertaken; a brief review of the literature; a description of the selected market segment; and a discussion of how the project was designed and implemented.
