Abstract

A distributed collaborative computer system that supports application sharing is provided that comprises a plurality of server computers interconnected via a high-speed link. Client computers can connect to any available server computer and start or join a conference hosted on either the server computer to which the client computer is connected or any other server in the system. As a result, the system and method of the present invention allow application sharing among an arbitrary number of client computers.
