It includes the development of specifications and software for distributed multimedia applications, such as remote document manipulation, document filing and retrieval, joint synchronous editing sequential document production, etc. The main results of our work are:
Standardization work. Active participation (being also editors) in the development of the profiles for Interactive Document Manipulation, AOD profiles (ISO/IEC ISP 15121), including the original idea, the taxonomy of profiles, and the profiles themselves.
Similar situation with respect to the profiles for Document Filing and Retrieval, ADF profiles (ISO/IEC ISP 12069). Both set of profiles were developed through participation in EWOS.
Specification, in collaboration with ETSI TE2, and for ITU-T SG8, of the Recommendation T-190 on Cooperative Document Handling Framework and basic services.
Participation in the development of an EWOS ETG on Multimedia Medical Data Interchange.
Research and Development Projects. The work being done in the ACTS MULTIMEDIATOR project (Multimedia Publishing Brokerage Service), leaded by one member of the team, is a good example of distributed multimedia applications.
