CEV: collaborative environment for visualization using Java RMI
Rajeev R. Raje, Michael J. Boyles, Shiaofen Fang · Concurrency Practice and Experience · 1998
Collaborative visualization is an active area of research in computer science. Many different techniques and implementations have been proposed. However, most of today's systems require many high-end graphics workstations. By implementing a new technique that separates the 2D and 3D components of the visualization process, we have developed a system called CEV that operates using only one high-end workstation along with many inexpensive machines that need only the capability of running a web browser. Using Java RMI, CEV provides a heterogeneous environment for many users that is easy to use. This paper describes the operation, methodology, and implementation of CEV. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
