Abstract: This thesis studies the application sharing
        facilities that allow multiple conference
        participants to interact simultaneously with
        computer-based aplications in a desktop
        teleconference. It focuses on
        collaboration-transparent facilities that permit
        existing single-user applications to be invoked from
        within a computer conference. The thesis introduces
        the basic architectures for shared window systems
        and analyzes them based on experience with several
        prototypes. Also presented within the shared window
        context are application replication for improving
        system performance; shared workspace management;
        floor control; user customization; annotations; and
        telepointing.
