Foil 37 How are Objects Used Collaboratively?

From Education, Research and Institutional Models for Universities in the Next Millenium Seminar at University of Houston -- May 10 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Some sort of activity involves interactions between objects and/or objects and individuals (which can be thought of as objects as well if you want)
2 Interaction can be synchronous as when individuals talk to each other; parallel program components exchange MPI messages
  • Objects or object properties are shared at same time
3 Or asynchronous when sharing is done at different times
4 I post a web page and you look at it later is basic asynchronous sharing model while writing on a blackboard is hallowed synchronous model in teaching
  • other areas are similar
