Online
Conferences
a lot of which is spoken today about
online communications is
the result of the IP conectivities, it has become in one of the
most used forms of communications employed by users that require
to communicate between two or more people, that can also share
their files, images and all sorts of applications. |

To accomplish this, the meeting organizer sends
an email with the
invitations, all of which contain a URL link and an ID to access
the meeting. When it starts, each participant introduces his or
her ID to be able of getting into the online meeting. Once the
meeting has started, the participants can see the organizer�s
desk�s computer and share with him or her files and applications.
During the online meeting,
the role of the presenter or organizer can be passed to any of
the participants, and they will be able of seeing all of what
has been previously shown to the anterior presenter. Most of the
solutions for a Web conference,
allow the assistants to give away the control of their mouse and
keyboard to the desktop of the presenter; who is able of
deciding if he or she wants to handle the control of the mouse
and keyboard to one particular person or to all the participants.

The difference between the other types of
conference is that in virtual
conferences the participants can be in different physical
places and the meeting room is substituted by the desktop and
each participant of the meeting can see what the host is showing
in his or her desktop as an exposition. These have a lot of
similarities with meetings with real people, because the people
attending this kind of meeting can participate in it and
interact with other participants. |

Security in this kind of conference is very important,
because they are mostly used in companies, where the flux of
important data and information is constant, and this information
can be critical for companies; this is why they use an SSL
encoded protocol from top to bottom at a speed of 128 bits to
transmit the information in the meetings. |

In order to acquire this service, you need to
hire a server that hosts the manufacturer or a server of your
own, but there are also companies that offer this service with
installments such as WEbeX, this is a Mexican company that
offers this service installing their own software in the host�s
computer, and the participant�s computer must also
acquire the software. (http://www.webex.com/index.html).

another company that
offers this service is Dimdim (http://www.dimdim.com/)
this american company offers a
free service of web
conferences and application sends, its software can be
downloaded from their web site and it also has to be
downloaded by the other participants so there can be
interaction between the host and the participants.
This type of application of
online communications
is a great way of changing the way in which we interact,
for those who do not have the time to be in a specific
place to negotiate among others.
