Abstract
Many multimedia applications have been developed during the past years for supporting co-operative work, tele-teaching and many other activities involving groups of persons distributed at different locations and communicating by means of telecommunication networks. Most of this effort has been devoted, till now, to deal with technical problems: network design and network interconnection, applications, etc. It is now becoming increasingly important to tackle the problems related to the organisation of these activities as distributed events, involving sophisticated equipment and the users of the system. It will be shown that the organisation of a distributed event is qualitatively different from the organisation of a similar event in a single place and during a specific period of time.
