Abstract

This paper addresses issues that arise when a peer group, distributed across several time zones, uses the Internet to configure and execute distributed desktop-based applications and tasks. The paper provides solutions and Tcl/Tk implementations to support (1) peer-to-peer communication/control of distributed software and computing resources over the Internet; (2) recording and playback of interactive execution of Tcl/Tk applications and collaborative sessions. The summary of 540 Internet-based experiments, each relying on RecordTaker and PlaybackMaker to record, playback, and execute ReubenDesktop configurations from local, cross-state, and cross-country servers, demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed concepts and implementation.
