Abstract
This paper outlines the design of an Internet Realtime Conference (IRC) and reports on the experiences gained in running it. The IRC is believed to be the first ever full scale technical conference conducted over Internet in real time. The system architecture, software design and realtime conference procedure are illustrated. The first hand experience of running the conference and the conference attendees feedback are reported and analyzed. The technology issues and extensibility of IRC are discussed in view of encouraging results. Other possible applications based on the concept and system solution developed are pointed out.
