Title
Communication support for distributed collaborative applications
Abstract
The Development of distributed, multimedia, collaborative applications requires resolution of com- munication issues such as concurrency control, and temporal and causal synchronization of traffic over related data streams. Existing transport and/or session la yer protocols do not include desired support for multi-stream, multipoint communication. In this paper, we propose new communication abstractions and mechanisms that facilitate implementation of the necessary coordination and concurrency control semantics in a collaborative application. We also propose a protocol suite called MCP (Multi-Flow Conversation Protocol) for realization of these abstractions and describe its pro totype implementation in an internetwork of workstations. The paper also describes o ur experience with the prototype and results of a performance evaluation.
