Abstract :
This paper describes approaches for near-real time collaboration over distance in interactive applications. It presents approaches to tackling most of the encountered challenges by using our interactive risk management tool as an illustrative example. In particular it focuses on browser-based bi-directional client-server network communication, concurrent object manipulations, and data synchronization.
