Abstract

The sharing of objects for authoring frequently occurs among participating users in a cooperative authoring system where many users can collaborate. Floor control is therefore needed not only for minimizing the race condition during object accesses but also for ensuring the exclusive use of objects. A floor is a temporary access right that is given to a participating user who wants to use a shared object. Although the floor control methods for a single session environment can be found in various literature, those methods for a multi-session environment can hardly be found. In a multi-session environment, an object can be shared by multiple sessions. As a solution to the problems due to object sharing in such an environment, this paper presents a floor control method based on the chair-of-chair guidance. This method is an extension of those based on traditional chair guidance; the chair-of-chair elected among session chairs exists in this method.
