Abstract

A multimedia computer system for scheduling and coordinating distributed multimedia resources is disclosed.
The scheduling and coordinating are accomplished by the operation of an algorithm in the memory of a number of networked computers. The processor, under the control of the algorithm, creates, accesses, modifies and stores a plurality of data structures in a file on a non-volatile store such as a disk. The data structures store user inputs defining the parameters associated with multimedia sessions and the scheduling information necessary to support the requirements of the sessions with a specific Quality Of Service (QOS). This information is stored on each of the computers participating in the electronic meeting for subsequent use in scheduling and implementing the sessions via an Open System Interconnect (OSI) network for example.
