Introduction in collaborative workflow, and to The need has been increasing in large software projects, facilitate enterprise-wide-engineering, for an effective means to allow scalable and reliable sharing of information across multiple processes.
For example, has proven valuable in allowing collaborative design reviews to take place at geographically distant sites, such as between Everett, WA, and St. Louis, MO.
To enhance the value of J and enable additional world-wide electronic collaboration applications, programmers need a software mechanism allowing dozens, hundreds, or perhaps thousands of participating computer processes to simultaneously share information easily, quickly, and reliably across the world.
Background There are four categories of computer network communication systems that might be applied to the problem of wide-area simultaneous sharing of information for the purpose of collaborative processing.
