Investigation of a Dynamic Collaborative Framework for Multi-Modal Devices

现代商业和社会越来越需要通过快速组建团队和个人协作来实现敏捷性。移动的计算设备具有实现这种协作的潜力。然而，这一点目前尚未实现;软件无法跟上硬件的步伐。该项目旨在研究技术和软件工具，为多媒体丰富的应用程序提供一个自适应框架，通过异构移动的设备之间的多模式通信无缝地支持协作。这种多媒体、智能设备和先进通信的结合，通过以新的、更好的方式提供和处理信息，有可能彻底改变许多关键行业。

Modern business and society increasingly call for agility through the rapid formation of groups and collaboration of individuals. Mobile computing devices have the potential to enable this collaboration. However this is currently unrealised; software is not keeping up with hardware. This project aims to investigate techniques and software tools to provide an adaptive framework for multimedia-rich applications, which seamlessly support collaboration through multi-modal communications between heterogenous mobile devices. This combination of multimedia, smart devices and advanced communications has the potential to revolutionise many key industries by making information available and manipulable in new and better ways.
