Abstract

The last web applications advances, even if significant, doesn’t yet allow to substitute desktop applications: data are often redundant, user/web interfaces interactions notably differ from the user/desktop ones, data propagation isn’t fully instantaneous. This work shows some strategies for real-time client/server and client/client communications by server to manage multiuser collaboration issue in innovative ways: the user can use two techniques AJAX (Garrett J., 2005) and Comet (Russell A., 2006), recent and standard based, without installing plug-ins. Web 2.0 (O’Reilly T., 2007) was this project’s leading philosophy, by which a mash up of two features was mainly realized: a chat module and a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text editor. The results show a potential cooperation among users interacting simultaneously using simple graphical interfaces, with a large work speeding up. Many applications exploit client/server interactions, directly sending updated information to connected users, as in online auctions (Wellman M. et al., 1998) multiuser cooperation (Tapiador A. et al., 2006) and e-learning (T. Chan, 2007) systems. Further details about the code and simple demos are available on http://people.na.infn.it/~wbalzano/AJAX.
