Interoperability of Shared Window Systems
Perhaps the most popular collaborative systems today
are shared window systems.
Several shared window systems have been developed so far including
Shared X
at HP and UNC,
Concur
at UNC and HP,
several versions of
XTV
developed at UNC and ODU,
and the IRI system built at ODU.
In this project,
we will study interoperability of shared window systems.
It will have two aspects.
First,
it will explore interoperation among different forms of shared
window systems such as XTV and Shared X.
In particular,
it will define the core of a shared window system,
to which the XTV and IRI systems will connect.
Second,
it will develop interoperation of shared window systems with other
forms of software such as a collaborative toolkit.
The software produced by this project will
be implemented on top of the collaboration-bus kernel.
This project will give you experience in shared window systems
and interoperability.
