| Description | Given the importance of synchronous multimedia transmissions for collaborative environments, this thesis contains results of research on the concept of the user-empowered virtual overlay networks for synchronous multi-point distribution of high-bandwidth data. The key element for building these virtual networks is the Active Element (AE), which can be run as a stand-alone application for small collaborative environments, a network of AEs for larger groups, or even as a distributed AE on a tightly coupled cluster for handling streams with extreme bandwidth requirements. We describe models and architectures of these systems and demonstrate their performance using advanced collaborative applications. |
