Abstract This is the second in a two-part series presenting a Java implementation of a real-time multi-user blackjack game based on a collaborative, active object framework. In the last article, we presented the design of an active object framework for developing collaborative client/server applications.

Abstract This is the first of a two-part series presenting a Java implementation of a real-time multi-user blackjack game based on a collaborative, active object framework. In this article, we will walk through the design of an active object framework for developing collaborative client/server applications. Important concepts, such as synchronous collaboration, active objects, multicasting, sessions and events are defined and discussed.
