Abstract: We describe an event-driven application sharing (EDAS) technology which enables the collaborative design of artifacts using existing, 3D, graphical design applications. The basis of the technology is the capture, multicast, and synchonization of window system events among multiple copies of an application executing on different workstations. This capability is achieved without modification to the applications or to the window system software.
