Abstract

Advanced countries are very active in deploying the National Information Infrastructure which provides universal service to promise fruitful quality of future life. Even in the distributed environment, we can closely converse, work together, and share information in a very convenient way. This is actually enabled with the help of groupware technology, which are currently focused and researched in a larger popularity. The aim of this study is to design a portable pack for group communications management to support the development of groupware applications. In the paper we begin with technical survey, continue to build our own model for group communication management, and design its architecture and procedure. We also suggest group addressing mechanism under Internet environment such as how to create IP multicast address and IP port number dynamically and as a globally unique value for the communication session, with the help of the hierarchical and distributed address managers. We also indicate the reliable data transmission services to remedy the unreliable feature of the UDP multicast services, and finally the architecture applied to support the practical applications is briefly discussed for verification of the designed concept.
