Integration Smart conference and live journal

Introduction

This project aims to develop a subsystem for commenting in Smart Conference System. The basic idea is to provide conference participants software tools for communication, which enable the exchange of comments, to ask the speakers questions and get answers before, during and after their performance. This project allows to participate in the discussion of presentations to persons located remotely and monitored the conference via the Internet. This is achieved as follows: on server LiveJournal creates a post for each report, and remote participants can add comments to it. The task of the developed subsystem is synchronization hierarchy LiveJournal comments and information held in the conference Smart Space. Thus, a LiveJournal server and the conference Smart Space will store the identical to-date information, and as direct participants of the conference, and remote participants will have access to it.
