Composite search for distributed multimedia recorded meetings

Abstract

To encourage enterprise knowledge sharing especially, to facilitate the discovery and sharing of enterprise meetings, we develop an end-to-end enterprise meeting service called Agora that manages the full cycle of hosting web meetings and sharing multimedia recorded meeting artifacts. In this paper, we focus on Agora's composite search engine that allows users to seamlessly search distributed multimedia meeting artifacts. Agora has been deployed as a cloud service which allows selected IBM customers to test new collaborative technologies on IBM's Smart Cloud platform.
