10. The Master Client Application (1) The master client is the one that captures events during a PowerPoint presentation and sends messages to participating clients for rendering. It plays a role as a Peer in the Peer-to-Peer Grids. Technologies used: Automation enables applications to expose functionality through interfaces, which can be reused by other applications through wrapper classes. Automation enables applications to expose functionality through interfaces, which can be reused by other applications through wrapper classes. Connectable objects manage Connection Point objects where events are defined, and therefore are the event source. Connectable objects manage Connection Point objects where events are defined, and therefore are the event source.

11. The Master Client Application (2) The sink interface is where the handlers of events are implemented; the Master client handles events fired from the connectable object through the sink. The sink interface is where the handlers of events are implemented; the Master client handles events fired from the connectable object through the sink.

12. The Participating Client Application (1) The participating client is the one that receives messages from Narada message broker, and renders the presentation display. Each participating client plays a role as a Peer in the Peer-to-Peer Grids. Technologies used: JNI (Java Native Interface) JNI (Java Native Interface) Cooperation between Java and C/C++ Cooperation between Java and C/C++ Wrapper Classes, Dispatching and Automation. Wrapper Classes, Dispatching and Automation.

13. The Participating Client Application (2) The cooperation between the message broker and the participating client, and the mechanism of it.

14. The Event Models (1) Three levels of events: 1. Physical events mouse over, mouse clicking, keyboard stroking, etc. 2. Semantic events meaningful instructions such as change slides, change windows, etc. 3. Rendering events Rendering of presentation displays via automation, according to the semantic event messages received.

15. The Event Models (2) Events that are posted in “EApplication” interface of PowerPoint and that can be captured and processed.

16. Narada Message Broker (1) It transmits event messages between collaborative PowerPoint and IE applications’ clients It can be deployed as a Grid in Peer-to-Peer Grids, using robust, secure, structured and powerful machines and resources. It supports messaging in Peer-to-Peer Grids It supports messaging in Peer-to-Peer Grids It uses a generalized publish-subscribe mechanism It uses a generalized publish-subscribe mechanism It handles dynamic protocol choice, tunneling through firewalls It handles dynamic protocol choice, tunneling through firewalls It supports TCP, UDP, multicast, SSL and RTP It supports TCP, UDP, multicast, SSL and RTP It is error tolerate, supports dynamic routing, secure message, and full scalability. It is error tolerate, supports dynamic routing, secure message, and full scalability.

Narada Message Broker (2) It can run in client-server mode like JMS (Java Message Service) or in distributed Peer-to-Peer mode like JXTA It can run in client-server mode like JMS (Java Message Service) or in distributed Peer-to-Peer mode like JXTA It can be used in real-time synchronous collaborations It can be used in real-time synchronous collaborations

18. Instant Messaging and Metadata Web Services (1) Instant Messaging and Metadata Web Services are building blocks in Peer-to-Peer Grids computing. Web Services along with Peer-to-Peer Grids play important roles in collaboration. Web Services enable developers to integrate functionality across businesses and organizations. 1.
