Foil 27 Other Web Collaboratory Systems NCSA Habanero

From Session Management in Web Collaboratory Systems Defense of 5 CIS Master's Theses -- Dec 15 1997. by Tom Jurga


Habanero collaboratory modules are Java applications: no software downloadability, but independent from unstable Web browsers and their performance limitations
Habanero session model resembles TANGO 2 room paradigm:
  • defined as a meeting where any number of different types of applications can be opened
  • No automatic sending of update information about current sessions, however, it is done in case of information about participants
  • launching an application of a certain type within a session causes remote opening for all the participants in a session.
  • there is a floor control mechanism similar to the lock mechanism in TANGO 2 system.
  • save a session definition or state and to reconstruct it later.
