1. A method for effecting and monitoring a real-time, multi-participant process via a network, the method comprising:
- periodically collecting real-time data regarding the real-time process;
periodically updating a display comprising a graphical representation of a current state of the process using the real-time data;
receiving user inputs via the display, wherein the user inputs include changes to the real-time data; and
in response to the user inputs, updating the display to reflect the changes to the real-time data.

Abstract
A method for effecting and monitoring a real-time, multi-participant process via a network. In one embodiment, the method includes periodically collecting real-time data regarding the real-time process, and periodically updating a display comprising a graphical representation of a current state of the process using the real-time data. The method further includes receiving user inputs via the display, wherein the user inputs include changes to the real-time data, and in response to the user inputs, updating the display to reflect the changes to the real-time data.
