Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of Java Meeting Space (JMS), a generic, extensible framework and environment for developing synchronous collaborative applications. The JMS framework is based on a fully object-oriented replicated architecture where the application instances and management services are all replicated at each site. JMS provides basic CSCW coordination services: session management and dynamic floor control services. As a framework, it provides a set of programming interfaces that allow an application developer to take advantage of coordination services in the runtime environment.
