Extending the user interface to the multiuser environment
Pedro A. Antunes, Nuno Guimarães, Ricardo Rodrigues Nunes · ACM SIGOIS Bulletin · 1992
This paper describes our experience in extending a set of tools, designed for user interface construction, to support multiuser execution. The enhancement of the tools was based on an existing user interface architecture. The goal was to keep the programming paradigms as close as possible to the ones of the available environment. The strategy was to enhance a particular category of user interface components through specialization mechanisms #inheritance#. Two alternatives for this specialization have been evaluated, shared and replicated objects.
