Abstract: In this paper, we describe an approach to support col laborative working with unknown applets (source code is not available). The general idea of the our system is that user events occurring through the interaction with the GUI of an applet can be caught, distributed, and reconstructed, hence the system allows for Java applets to be shared transparently. Our approach differs from other collaborative systems in the fact that we make use of today's applets without modifying their source-code. The architecture described here allows to make a lot of already existing applets collaborative, which have been developed as single user applications with no collaboration in mind.
