In contrast to video conferencing, webcasting supports scaleable Internet visual communications, yet it is typically viewed as an ephemeral one-way broadcast medium. We present a principled design for interactive webcasts that are accessible both in real-time and retrospectively. We derive system architecture and functionality from project goals, results from the video communications literature...

This proposed research will design, implement and test algorithms to automate the production of webcasts and distributed collaborations using Internet multicast streaming media technologies. We have considerable experience producing webcasts for seminars, workshops, special events, and class lectures. We have also produced videoconferences using Internet Mbone and Access Grid (AG) technologies....
