Developing an Interface for Beginning Application Sharing Smartly in a Group of Cooperative Work

Abstract

Sharing application window among users may improve cooperative works. However, configurations of sharing multiple application windows among multiple PCs are complicated. We implemented a management system for the configuration. The main idea of the system is to introduce an analogy of classrooms, which helps users to understand and make the configurations. The system provides a novel interface for management of groups in a classroom. This paper shows the implementation and evaluation of the system. Specifically, we realized a practical application window sharing system by optimizing streaming of windows.
