The main deliverables of this project are:
General definitions and design space:
General definitions and design spaces
of data, user-interface, coupling, and real-time model.
Bus Infrastructure:
A replicated, mobile, and secure infrastructure that
interconnects existing implementations
of these services and
provides default implementations of these services.
Demonstrational Interconnections:
A set of experimental interconnections
among existing, state-of-the-art,
demonstrate inter-service interoperability
among at least three different services and intra-service interoperability
among at least three different implementations of the same service.
In particular,
we will demonstrate inter-service interoperability among
object-oriented Java data model,
3-D VE user interfaces build at UNC,
real-time support developed at UNC,
and coupling services;
and intra-service interoperability among
different forms of coupling implemented in
state-of-the-art desktop conferencing systems offered by
HP, UNC, and ODU.
Reports and Videos:
Technical reports and videos that illustrate and describe the
capabilities of the infrastructure and demonstrational interconnections
and report the results of our interconnection experiments.
There are no proprietary claims.
