MAST: application sharing tool for the Access Grid
The Multicast Application Sharing Tool (MAST) has been developed to allow the sharing of applications within a group environment. Unlike other applications sharing tools, which use unicast to send data to each individual, MAST allows data to be sent to a multicast group to which participants join. MAST has been deployed as a service within the Access Grid Toolkit to augment its functionality and successfully used in support of the eMinerals Virtual Organisation.
