异构同步协作系统的集成框架

为了解决异构同步协作系统之间的通信问题,基于集合论提出了一种新的同步协作系统数学模型,并定义了集成过程中使用的关键运算,对异构同步协作系统的集成进行分析,提出实现该框架的2个关键机制.代理机制屏蔽异构系统之间的资源差异和所在网络的差异,并且协调各个系统之间的交互.多点传输机制用于在一次会晤中连接多个异构协作系统.在此基础上定义了一个能够集成各种异构同步协作系统的集成框架.根据该框架,运用Web Services技术开发了集成系统.此系统实现了3种用户群较多的、典型的协作系统的集成,分别是基于H.323标准集的协作系统,基于SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)协议的协作系统和基于IP组播的协作系统.这些异构系统的用户相互之间能够实现通信和同步协同工作.

Integrative framework for heterogeneous synchronous collaboration systems

To solve the communication problem of synchronous collaboration systems with heterogeneous architectures, the integration of the heterogeneous systems was discussed. A new formalized mode of synchronous collaboration system was proposed and key integration operation was defined, based on the set theory. While analyzing the integration, the agent mechanism was used to avoid the differences of resources and networks between heterogeneous collaboration systems and the multicast transport mechanism was used to link the several collaboration systems at a session. The integrative framework with four levels was developed, based on the two mechanisms. The prototype system according to the integrative framework was developed, based on web-services technology. The system realized the integration of three kinds of collaboration systems including H.323 set of standards based collaboration systems, Session initiation protocol(SIP) based collaboration systems and IP-multicast based collaboration systems. The users of the heterogeneous collaboration systems can communicate with each other.
