Flexible Shared Windows (Dewan, Jeffay, and Menges)

Unlike Suite and other higher-level infrastructures, an XTV-like shared window system does not give users any flexibility in determining the coupling among their user interfaces. It provides a fixed WYSIWIS (What You See Is What I See) coupling, which ensures that all users see identical views of a window. In this project, we are identifying the semantics, architectures, and implementations of shared windows that semi-automatically and efficiently support the great variety of view sharing methods found in higher-level systems.
