The recent advances in computer technology and data networking have made videoconferencing system a popular medium for users to interact with one another from remote locations. This system offers communication between more than two users, who are able to interact through their webcams, microphone and other components. The use of this system has been increased recently due to many reasons, for one thing, progress in Internet access in different networks like companies, universities and houses, with the increase of available bandwidth whereas the decrease of delay in sending and receiving packets . On the other hand, the coming of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) means that a large part of web application started to be implemented on the web browsers. This paper discusses the conception of multiparty videoconferencing systems using technologies of Web 2.0. For our conceptual Videoconferencing Platform, we have developed many feature : live audio video, text chat, video recording, user and room management and quality control. Videoconferencing modules have been carried out using open source technologies Flex and J2EE.

The article describes how the author became interested in network performance and its development since the 1980s. Based on experiences with tools and processes, she finally created Waterwheel, an Internet platform dedicated to water as a theme and metaphor. Taking some performances in Waterwheel as case studies, she tries to list the parameters that make networked performance a specific genre.
