Many-to-many videoconferencing-over-IP application.[L1 ]
EF AccessGrid is a rewrite, extension and repackaging of a number of (originally) multicast based audio and video conferencing tools. I am writing this more from memory than from true facts, so someone would have to check and fix appropriately this page if necessary. The tools at hand have been around for around 10 years now, in various different forms. These are VAT, RAT (both two audio conferencing tools) and VIC (a video conferencing tool). Added to these, there are tools such as a distributed whiteboard, a conference announcement (and join) tool, a VCR, etc. These tools originate from a number of American and European projects, MICE being one of them (and one that I was involved in). They all use Tcl/Tk for the building of the interface and the glueing of all lower-level C/C++ components.
