Foil 40 Conclusions

From Overview of Shared Places on the Web XML Developers Conference Montreal -- August 19-20 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Lukasz Beca, Marek Podgorny


We have analyzed a successful Web-based collaboration system TangoInteractive and in particular its JavaScript interface enabling shared interactive web pages
We have noted that it is very helpful to
  • use XML and new W3C DOM
  • Link Asynchronous and Synchronous events
  • Link Portal and Collaboration technology
XML can be used in defining portal/shared collaboration space
XML can support universal access to collaborative environments to those with disabilities -- hence giving them access to education
XML can support collaboration between clients from palmtops, to PC's and high-end virtual environments
TangoInteractive is available now at http://www.npac.syr.edu/tango
Prototypes involving SPDL and Collaborative PC's/palmtops will be available in Jan 00
