Summary:Some software mechanisms implemented in the multimedia
workstations of an experimental multimedia teleconferencing system are
discussed. These mechanisms are used to interface with the different
types of devices involved in multimedia conference applications and to
direct information flow among them. They are concerned with
teleconferencing applications with which people in different offices can
talk to each other while simultaneously editing the same file, debugging
the same program, or working on some other arbitrary applications. Users
engaged in teleconferencing may use multimedia workstations equipped
with peripherals such as telephone handsets, image scanners, network
interfaces, and mass storage. In the prototype system, the workstations
are connected to an experimental fast packet switch capable of switching
voice, data, and video on a single network
