The growth of Internet technologies and the widespread use of mobile devices have been paving the way for the increasing use of conferencing services. Two types of systems have been designed to provide conferencing services: 1) a conferencing system using session control over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network and 2) an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) conferencing system. The IMS conferencing system was developed to adapt to a server-based centralized system, whereas the benefits of the P2P operational model in providing such conference services are widely acknowledged. However, each system provides conferencing services only to its own users. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an interworking model to support multimedia conferencing service between the P2P environment and IMS networks. We also introduce protocol architecture and some service scenarios. To verify this system model and the design architecture, we perform an actual implementation and show experienced test results.

In this paper, a video conferencing system, which has been attracting significant attention as an immersive telepresence service owing to the recent emergence of 5G networks, is described. We propose a service platform for Giga Media based video conferencing for 5G convergence services. The video conferencing service consists of a traditional structure that provides information exchange through the transmission of video and voice of remote participants using a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU), a browser-based video conferencing based on WebRTC, a multi-view point video conferencing, and holographic telepresence centered on mixed reality. The paper introduces the trends and detailed structures of various technologies used in the video conferencing system, and compares the video conferencing system technologies and video conferencing service characteristics for the integrated Giga Media platform.

Purpose - Due to the Covic-19 pandemic, the perceived value of video conferencing platforms has been increased drastically. However, there is little guidance on how service providers can improve video conferencing platforms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the users' perceived value of video conferencing services based on the heuristic-systematic model and the value-based adoption model. Design/Methodology/Approach - In this paper, we theoretically explore the relationship of the antecedents of perceived value(credibility, expertise, attractiveness, economic feasibility, security, and interactivity) and its outcomes (perceived usefulness, perceived risk and perceived value). The outcomes of this research is a conceptualization of antecedents of perceived value supported by research hypothesis based on the existing literature. A total of 100 valid questionnaires were collected to empirically test the research model. Findings - The analysis results showed that credibility, economic feasibility, and interactivity positively influenced perceived usefulness. On the other hand, credibility, professionalism and interactivity negatively influenced perceived risk. Perceived usefulness positively affects perceived value and perceived risk has a negative effect on perceived value. The brand image as a moderating variable was found to decrease the effect of perceived risk on perceived value. Research Implications - The contribution of this study is significant for video conferencing providers as follows. First, a service provider can actively utilize influencers or referees with high credibility and expertise to maximize the perceived usefulness of users. Second, economic feasibility should be ensured in respect of users through various alliance discount strategies. Third, a video conferencing service company needs to build a positive brand image in order to increase users' perceived value.

In this paper, we implemented a system which provides more effective conference control than that of video conferencing system has been used on MBone. The system provides multicast service on the non-broadcasting network. It multicasts multimedia data using several MTS(Multipoint Transport Server)s and provides a tightly coupled conference control service with a CCS(Conference Control Server). As providing a tightly coupled conference control service, we can perform effectively video conferencing using this system.

As corona began to spread around the world, it had such a big impact on many people's lives that the word "Untact Culture" was born. Among them, non-face-to-face meetings naturally became a daily routine as educational institutions and many domestic and foreign companies used video conferencing service platforms. Among many video conferencing service platforms, Zoom, the company with the largest number of downloads, caused many security issues and caused many concerns about Zoom's security. In this paper, Zoom's security problems and vulnerabilities were classified into five categories, and Zoom's latest update to solve those problems and the 90-day security planning project were compared and analyzed. And the problem was solved and classified as unresolved. Three of the five parts have been resolved but are still described as how they should be resolved and improved in the future for the two remaining parts.

Recently, the diverse kinds of applications in multimedia computing have been developed for visual surveillance, healthcare, smart cities, and security. Video conferencing is one of core applications among multimedia applications. The Quality of Service of video conferencing is a major issue, because of limited network traffic. Video conferencing allow a large number of users to converse with each other. However, the huge amount of packets are generated in the process of transmitting and receiving the photographed images of users. Therefore, the number of packets in video conferencing needs to be reduced. Video conferencing can be conducted in virtual reality by sending only the control signals of virtual characters and showing virtual characters based on the received signals to represent the users, instead of the photographed images of the users, in real time. This paper proposes a method that determines representative photographed images by analyzing the collected photographed images of users, using KMedoids algorithm and a decision tree, and expresses the users based on the analyzed images. The decision tree used for video conferencing are generated automatically using the proposed method. Given that the behaviors in the decision tree is added or changed considering photographed images, it is possible to reproduce the decision tree by photographing the behavior of the user in real-time. In an experiment conducted, 63 consecutively photographed images were collected and a decision tree generated by using the silhouette images of the photographed images. Indices of the silhouette images were utilized to express a subject and one index was selected using a decision tree. The proposed method reduced the number of comparisons by a factor of 3.78 compared with the traditional method that uses correlation coefficient. Further, each user's image could be outputted by using only the control image table of the image and the index.

Currently, The Internet has been imported in many fields and it's development prompted accordingly. The field of education also has been developed as 'Learners Centered Environment' by combining the existing educational method, so called distance learning, with internet. Learners have become able to adopt the appropriate level of educational service anywhere and anytime they want. In this paper, we propose a EOD system based on SIP. The EOD system is a new conferencing type system in the distance learning field. Using SIP (Session Initial Protocol) for EOD system is more efficient than using H.323, also the more the number of its is increased, and as improvement of its QoS. The EOD system is scalable and provides conferencing service using SIP which suits with web environment. And, the EOD system supports multicast efficiently to utilize bandwidth of networks.

This research presents development of real-time service primitive in MHS(Message Hanling system) supporting desk-top conferencing system. Desk-top conferencing system is one of the real-time GC(Group Communication) services. The complexity of modem society has led to the consequent need for real-time GC between a number of people in order to jointly handle tasks in business, government and other forms of organization. Despite the many different form of desk-top conferencing systems developed to date, there are still few systems in widespred no. One of the biggest hurdle preventing the widespred adoption of real-time GC is the lack of agreement on user-friendly interchange environments. In distributed office environments, the MHS is one of the most widely used service for information interchange. It is a standard of electronic mail system which is concerned mostly with asynchronous exchange of short notes. It is clear that additional functions on MHS are necessary in order to allow users to properly process their real-time group messages and provide them with important facilities as a communication infrastructure for real-time GC.

A Telepresence service is an advanced video conferencing service at aimed providing remote users with the feeling of being present together at a particular location for a face-to-face group meeting. The effectiveness in this type of meeting can be further increased by automatically recognizing the audiovisual behaviors of the video conferencing users, accurately inferring their level of engagement from the recognized reactions, and providing proper feedback on their engagement state. In this paper, we review the recent developments of such engagement analysis techniques being utilized in various applications, such as human-robot interaction, content evaluation, telematics, and online collaboration services. In addition, we introduce a real-time engagement analysis framework employed in our telepresence service platform for an increased participation in online group collaboration settings.
