Foil 11 General Collaboration

From Scivis Java Visualization System ISDA Meeting Doubletree Hotel Pasadena -- March 25-27. by Byeongseob Ki, Scott KLasky


Still developing and experimenting to find the best framework.
  • Different uses will need different approaches
There are several possible methods to implement:
  • Using Custom Socket programming
    • Fast
    • Very expensive to maintain elegant programming
  • Using Remote Method Invocation(RMI)
    • RMI is an abstraction for communicating between Java virtual machines.
    • It's not as efficient as a direct sockets-based method. (5 times slower than socket programming)
  • Existing Collaboration Tools (TANGO, etc..)
Scivis uses the socket model.
We are working with people at Rutgers to define a different collaboration model.
