In recent years, as Information superhighway and advancement of computing power, it has been increasing requirements about CSCW that is based on the distributed multimedia. And, because the policy of interaction in collaborative application is implemented in application, application must be implemented again if the policy of collaborative application is changed. It is big problem in environment that policy is changed dynamically. We design CORBA based framework for collaborative distributed multimedia application. Framework support s session management, event notification and transmission of multimedia stream data for collaborative multimedia application.
