Mobile Group-Based Multimedia Cooperation System for MANETS

—The amount of devices with a processor and an operating system inside has been increased significantly during the last years. Mostly they also support inter-device communication by e.g. utilizing some of the IEEE 802.11 Standards. Groups of interest, like school classes, also want to collaborate in areas which do not fully support a wireless infrastructure. We introduce an application that supports a group-based learning and cooperation approach in a wireless mobile ad-hoc network scenario. We make use of general-purpose capabilities of the devices for routing, presentation as well as for quality of transport issues. Any multimedia content can be routed and handled by our tool for distributing captured-screen data among users and to beamers
