ROXY

The focus of the project ROXY (The Internet Live Initiative) was the creation, delivery, and presentation of interactive audio-visual multimedia information. Tools for creating such services and for enabling the user to publish his/her own multimedia content were developed. In addition, prototypes of such services were run as trials. Roxy services are a convergence and combination of different media such as video conferences, "mediazines", and e-Learning. The platform is Internet, exploiting the new essential technology of multicasting. One of C-LAB's contributions was our "Quality-of-Services" technology to be applied for the delivery of such services.
