Abstract

By utilizing the complementary advantages in screen size, network speed and processing power, the computing devices we own can work together and provide a better user experience. By separating the concerns of an application into components responsible for distinct tasks, these components can run on the different devices where they perform best. As a step towards multi-device applications, we have designed, implemented and tested a collaboration platform for application data sharing, optimized for low producer-to-consumer delay. Distribution trees are built automatically by our system based on latency, and the total producer-to-consumer delays measured in our experiments are below the delay requirements for multimedia applications.
