Abstract
Real-time collaborative designing systems allow users to view and design the same document from geographically distributed sites connected by web. In these systems, each action should be transferred to other sites correctly, timely and orderly. While a lot of researches focus mainly on providing reliable network environment to support collaborative works, we propose a new kind of reliable communication architecture for collaborative group. This architecture is based on UDP protocol for end-to-end transmission, and adopts a new Site-based Reliable Communication Protocol (SRCP) that depends on collaborative site itself to choose reliable communication channel and provide reliable transmission. Each site checks the connection status and chooses reliable path to transfer actions dynamically. Lost actions can be detected and retransferred faster when comparing to other architectures. The protocol and algorithms are given in detail in this paper.
