JAMM
Java Applets Made Multiuser
JAMM (Java Applets Made Multiuser) is a prototype Java runtime environment
that provides the shared use of single-user Swing-based components.
Keywords: Computer-supported cooperative work, groupware,
collaboration transparency, Java.
What's New
Collaborative Use of Single-user Applications
The computing field is shifting focus from personal computing to
interpersonal computing. People interact together in all aspects
of life and, as computers have become prevalent, users seek computer support
for their interactions. Groupware toolkits exist with which
developers may create collaborative applications. However, there
is a growing base of single-user applications that may be extended to
collaborative use through a collaboration-transparency system, such as
rJAMM.
System Overview
This version of JAMM supports the shared use of 100% pure Swing-based user
interface components. A component shared via JAMM may be as
simple as a button or as complex as an applet. In the image
above, a Swing example component, called Stylepad, is being shared.
This version of JAMM, called rJAMM for replicated JAMM, is
the second generation of work described at

Using JAMM
As a research project, JAMM is freely available for evaluation and
use. We ask you to provide feedback about your experience with JAMM
throughout your use of it (contact JAMM <jamm@simon.cs.vt.edu>).
