Middleware for multimedia mobile collaborative system

Although various collaborative systems have successfully improved enterprise work efficiency, mobile collaborative systems, which allow collaboration via wireless networks and mobile devices, still lack robust functionality and content representation support. The paper proposes a novel mobile collaboration framework for multimedia content generation, representation and delivery. A unified file format and a message queue management middleware, designed for, and employed in, a heterogeneous computing environment, are also discussed.
