Replicating Distributed Events for Real - Time Collaboration Report

In this paper a new paradigm for distributed event management and replication to support realtime collaboration, where the number of collaborating clients, their locations and interests are dynamic. The approach essentially applies the “pull” knowledge management model to distributed event management by defining semantically enhanced events and using state-based interactions techniques to communicate and replicate these event. The approach underlies a Java based collaboration framework. The architecture of the framework and its experimental evaluation will be presented.
