The SASSE Collaborative Editor

SASSE is a prototype shared editor that allows mulitple authors to work on a single document at the same time. The following images demonstrate some of the features of the system.

Image 1: SASSE is in outlining mode. The green user is working at the beginning of the document and her view appears in the upper half of the screen. An observation view of the red user appears in the lower half of the screen.


Image 2: SASSE's normal text display for the green user appears in the upper half of the screen. A gestalt view of the entire document appears in the lower half of the screen. There are 3 users (green, gray, and red) working concurrently on the document. The red user is working midway through the document and has selected a large region of text.
