CAIRO: a system for facilitating communication in a distributed collaborative engineering environment

چکیده
Conference management is a critical component of a collaborative engineering eeort. This paper describes, CAIRO (Collaborative Agent Interaction and synchROnization system), a system for managing participants in a distributed conference. We have drawn from various models of group interaction and social communications theory in order to develop CAIRO. While most conference systems have focused on the technical issues of communicating information between computers, we have also emphasized the role of the computer as a mediator and conference control mechanism. CAIRO provides both media synchronization , i.e. insuring that all information conveyed from one participant to another is synchronized, and agent synchronization, i.e. insuring eeective structur-ing and control of a distributed conference.

The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
