ABSTRACT:
A distributed multimodal collaboration system includes at least one server coupled to a network, a plurality of data sources coupled to the network and a plurality of clients executing on a corresponding plurality of client workstations coupled to the network. The system further includes a tuple-space having a plurality of descriptors. The tuple-space is accessible by the plurality of data sources, and the plurality of clients, and a descriptor distribution and invalidation protocol is operative to distribute and invalidate descriptors accessible by the plurality of clients and the plurality of data sources, and the system includes a transaction processor for committing a plurality of transactions associated with the descriptor distribution and invalidation protocol.
