Abstract

A multi-synchronous collaborative editor allows for both synchronous and asynchronous editing. People can either edit a shared document from different sites simultaneously and see the concurrent updates immediately. Or they can edit the document independently and merge the changes at a later time. This paper presents our initial support for multi-synchronous sessions in the collaborative editing system we have implemented, as well as our experience with the system and open issues for future work.
