Abstract :
Real-time collaboration systems, in which participants share multimedia documents and applications, have attracted interest for many years. The JETS system provides a generic multimedia telecollaboration framework that enables sharing of Java applets through the Internet. Experimentation with JETS revealed practical design and implementation issues, as well as the essential requirements of such systems
