Standards

Standards Web conferencing technologies are not standardized, which has reduced interoperability and transparency and increased platform dependence, security issues, cost and market segmentation. In 2003, the IETF established a working group to establish a standard for web conferencing, called "Centralized Conferencing (xcon)". The planned deliverables of xcon include: A binary floor control protocol. Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) published as RFC 4582 A mechanism for membership and authorization control A mechanism to manipulate and describe media "mixing" or "topology" for multiple media types (audio, video, text) A mechanism for notification of conference related events/changes (for example a floor change) Devolopment models Web conferencing is available with three models: hosting service, software and appliance.

History of webex

History Real-time text chat facilities such as IRC appeared in the late 1980s. Web-based chat and instant messaging software appeared in the mid-1990s. The PLATO computer learning system allowed students to collaborate on networked computers to accomplish learning tasks as early as the 1960s, but the early networking was not accomplished via the World Wide Web and PLATO's collaborative goals were not consistent with the presenter-audience dynamic typical of web conferencing systems. Several point-to-point and private-network video conferencing products were introduced in the early 1990s, most notably CU-SeeMe, which was used to link selected schools around the United States of America in real-time collaborative communications as part of the Global Schoolhouse project from Global SchoolNet. In May 1995, PictureTel announced LiveShare Plus as a general-use data collaboration product for Windows-b...
