CoMEdiA a Cooperative hyperMedia Editing Architecture. The Problem of the Cooperative Access

We describe CoMEdiA, a Cooperative hyperMedia Editing Architecture. CoMEdiA is a software tool that has been conceived having as main guidelines: cooperative work, multimedia data, hyper features, distributed processing and information edition. Using CoMEdiA users compete for the access of an information server in order to manage the cooperative edition of multimedia data. A first prototype with some of the above features is already implemented and the implementation is described.
