Written entirely in the Java programming language, DistView provides efficient support for multicast messages, a rich interface for group and session management, the ability to ensure uniformly sequenced message delivery, a lock-based distributed synchronization mechanism, and support for selective window sharing.
The DistView framework has been implemented and is currently extensively used in the context of the UARC project, an experimental testbed for wide-area scientific collaboratory work. This testbed is implemented as a large object-oriented distributed system on the Internet and provides a collaboratory environment in which a geographically dispersed community of scientists perform real-time experiments at remote facilities without having to leave their home institutions. Client applications supported by the Corona services provide the users with various facilities for remotely conducting their science. These include various shared data viewers for graphically displaying instrument data, a multi-party chat box for exchanging textual messages, and a notebook-like draw tool for saving and sharing notes, images and drawings.
