CoAction
Description
CoAction is an acronym for High Speed Communication
Services for Distributed Data Administration in
Cooperative Engineering Applications.
Goals and Results
The CoAction project aims at the definition and development of dedicated group
communication services on a strong data management background. To set up the
right requirements list, a distributed sketching facility called
"CoDraft" was made operational. Group communication services
for group management, voting, and multicasting, have been
developed and implemented on Ethernet and IBM Token Ring.
