Foil 22 Event Broadcasting: Criticism and Answers?

From Overview of Collaboration Systems Tango Tutorial San Diego MRA -- June 26 27 98 Datemod;June 18 98. by TangoInteractive Team


Sharing possible only if applications deterministic
  • applications ARE deterministic or can be made so
Copies of applications must be present everywhere
  • but they are, being applets or downloaded via a push channel
Environments must be identical
  • Java VM takes care about this
Initial state of a newcomer impossible to define
  • not so for good OO design and object serialization mechanism
Cannot maintain consistency among copies
  • Difficult ? Impossible. Variety of sync mechanisms available based on JavaBeans/RMI/CORBA etc
Web model enables event broadcasting!
