Abstract
This paper presents a framework for bringing the MBone and the World-W ide Web closer together by introducing real-time distribution of HTML- pages and synchronization of WWW-browsers. This framework will enable distributed presentations of WWW-material using the mWeb application. Distribution is done using two new protocols, Scalable Reliable Real-t ime Transport Protocol - SRRTP and Scalable Reliable File Distribution Protocol - SRFDP. Synchronization is achieved using the WebDesk Contr ol Bus, which allows for scalable messaging in large groups of program s and hosts. This paper also presents how the mWeb application can be used for programmed presentations resulting in a television-like Web-T V. The mWeb framework also includes support for creating HTML-slides a nd the usage of semantic remote-pointers. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevi er Science B.V.
