Abstract

Methods and systems for sharing applications among computer systems are disclosed. A shared application runs on a host computer and its output is displayed both on the host computer and on shadow computers. Users of the host and shadow computers coordinate who is momentarily in control of the shared application. Input from a user not in control is discarded while input from a user in control is sent to the shared application.
