Overview
The Ad-hoc Multi-party Video Conferencing Framework is a scalable framework for ad-hoc desktop video conferencing for multiple participants. The framework is integrated with IBM's Sametime Instant Messaging and leverages the Sametime location information to optimize allocation of the conferencing-nodes. The server side of the solution monitors the system's resiliency and in case of a detected failure can implicitly move the responsibility to another available conferencing node.
