Abstract

PECOLE (Peer-to-Peer Collaborative Environment) is a P2P-based multimedia distributed collaborative environment supporting a collaborative workspace which is composed of a variety of collaborative applications such as multi-chat, video conferencing, screen sharing and etc. Unfortunately, due to the PECOLE's simple group management, it is impossible to perform collaboration activities while joining multiple groups. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of PECOLE+ which is an extension of PECOLE. PECOLE+ resolves the drawback of PECOLE by providing the Group Management Service and the Workspace Management Service. The Group Management Service provides functionalities such as creating groups, joining multiple groups, and searching groups, and etc. The Workspace Management Service provides each group with an associated workspace, supporting the execution of collaborative applications over the workspace. In addition, any collaborative applications with the provided plug-in interfaces can be executed over the workspace as a PECOLE+ collaborative application.

PECOLE은 다중채팅, 화상회의, 화면 공유 등의 다양한 협업 어플리케이션으로 구성된 협업공간을 지원하는 Peer-to-Peer 기반의 멀티미디어 분산 협업 환경이다. 하지만 PECOLE에서 제공하는 단순한 그룹 관리 기능을 통하여서는 다중 그룹에 참여하여 협업을 수행하는 것이 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 PECOLE을 확장한 PECOLE+의 설계와 구현에 대하여 설명한다. PECOLE+는 그룹 관리 서비스와 작업장 관리 서비스를 제공하여 PECOLE의 문제점을 해결한다. 그룹 관리 서비스는 그룹 생성, 다중 그룹 참여, 그룹 검색 등의 기능을 제공하며, 작업장 관리 서비스는 그룹별로 작업 공간을 제공하여, 그룹 단위로 주어진 작업 공간에서 어플리케이션을 이용한 협업의 수행을 지원 한다. 또한 제공된 플러그인 인터페이스에 부합하게 개발된 모든 협업 어플리케이션은 PECOLE+의 협업 어플리케이션으로서 작업 공간에서 실행되도록 지원한다.
