Multi-User + Server
Multi-User + Server...such as an auction application with multiple bidders and an auctioneer-server.
Server executes an application over time. Clients interact with server periodically (client-pull or server-push) to stay in contact with the application. When appropriate clients interact with the server via form submission.
NetAlive can be used for these applications. One uses an Intertask with multiple GUIs that relay data between themselves and functional tasks on a server.
The GUI-tasks should contain be addressed to two computers. Each address can be either no address (an alias for the computer that started the application), a static address or a dynamic address. In addition, there can be functional tasks addressed to the server. NetAlive will load and start the application on the three computers, activating each task on the appropriate computer. The NetAlive system moves data between computers automatically and as needed.
The figure below is an Intertask for the auction application. The tasks are addressed to run on hosts COLOR, MONO, and SERVER.
