CONFER (software)
CONFER is one of the first and one of the most sophisticated computer conferencing systems. It was developed in 1975 at the
University of Michigan by then graduate student Robert Parnes. The CONFER system continued to be a widely used communication tool until 1999. CONFER is the progenitor of the computer conferencing systems Caucus,
PicoSpan, and YAPP.
