AG-related Research
• Admire (Advanced Multimedia Real time Environment)
– Developed by National Lab of Software Development
Environment (NLSDE), BUAA
– Feature-added upon UCL Mbone tools
– Compatible with AG
VIC:
RAT:
Whiteboard:
Integrated
environment
Ddraw ability
Real-time screen capturing ability up to 800*600
Low processing latency( we add more threads)
Higher quality (44K sampling)
Recording source detecting
Support more image formats (gif,jpeg)
COM object embedded (WORD/PPT/etc)
Telepointer
Up to 15 vic images added
AdminTool added, which at “chair” side , controls who
can send data; and at “partner” side, requests floor.
AG-related stuff
• Use AG as
collaboration
environment for Grids
– SDG
(Scientific Data Grid)
– CNGrid
(China National Grid)
• Also use VRVS and
H.323 systems
Thanks!
