Shared Places Interfaces

• Now we turn to implementation and architecture

• We remarked that SP Framework exposed a set of interfaces to Shared Objects and tools that manipulate them

• SP Interfaces are the entry points for accessing collaboration functionality provided by SP Framework (major extension of functionality provided by Tango API in Java applet, application, C++ and JavaScript):

  • Configuration interface enables initialization of Shared Objects based on the content of SPDL document
  • Data sharing interface offers data passing and synchronization services to the Shared Objects
  • Control interface provides means for accessing and manipulation of collaboration state
