Foil 17 SPW as Shared Portal on the Web

From Tango Futures CEWES(ERDC) Tango Traing -- Sept 16-17 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Electronic Mail and News Updates are just "events" which can be handed to viewer objects in an SPW
  • In synchronous collaboration, events are typically generated on a client and immediately shared with other clients
  • Asynchronous events typically are generated by a server (which offers persistent store) and transmitted to client
2 Integration of Synchronous and Asynchronous Events is essential in "Next Generation" TangoInteractive
3 Customization is available as you can choose which objects are in your SPW and you can define customization parameters such as area for which you want weather and which sports results should be displayed
4 Such customized portals are commonplace but SPDL has the advantage that it specifies both synchronous and asynchronous portal components.
