As the demand for customized collaborative tools increases, developers
recognize the need for a shared environment providing a platform for
applications to build on. This presentation will take a close look at
the framework available in the Access Grid Toolkit for creating shared
plug-in applications. An example shared application will be discussed,
with the intention of providing a broad understanding of the
technology fundamentals and the challenges associated with application
implementation and integration. Also included in this presentation
will be discussions about packaging, installation, and registration
solutions to make an application available for the community.
