We describe the architecture and implementation of our comprehensive
multi-platform collaboration framework known as Columbia InterNet
Extensible Multimedia Architecture (CINEMA). It provides a
distributed architecture for collaboration using synchronous
communications like multimedia conferencing, instant messaging,
shared web-browsing, and asynchronous communications like discussion
forums, shared files, voice and video mails. It allows seamless
integration with various communication means like telephones,
IP phones, web and electronic mail. In addition, it provides
value-added services such as call handling based on location
information and presence status. The paper discusses the media services needed for collaborative environment, the components
provided by CINEMA and the interaction among those components.
