Foil 23 Asynchronous vs. Synchronous

From Overview of Collaboration Systems Tango Tutorial Alliance 98 NCSA Illinois -- April 27 98. by TangoInteractive Team


New relationship for Web collaboratories
  • As primary Web function is asynchronous information publishing, Web-based collaboratories inherently link two models
    • Both modes focus on the basic concept of a "shared object"
    • Both modes share presentation tools
    • Synchronous mode may create or persistently enhance/modify shared objects
  • Web database linkage technology (based on JDBC/ Enterprise JavaBeans) promotes complex asynchronous collaboration by exposing rich data models of industrial-strength relational and OO DBMS's
Need Both! Tango will be linked to Lotus Notes this summer
