Abstract

A system and method for providing a collaboration, comprising, communicating with a first process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process; communicating with a second process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page in a plurality of web pages and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across the plurality of web pages; rendering the first web page; and wherein the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

Claims

1. A method for providing a collaboration, comprising:

communicating with a first process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process;

communicating with a second process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page in a plurality of web pages and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across the plurality of web pages;

rendering the first web page; and

wherein the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the communication with the first process is asynchronous.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the first process and the second process can share information through a shared state.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the first process includes a business process.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

updating the first web page to reflect information received from the first process; and

wherein the updating does not require communication with the second process.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the communication with the second process can utilize the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

communicating with a third process, wherein the third process is a collaboration process; and

wherein the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

8. A system for providing a collaboration, comprising:

a client process capable of rendering a web page;

a first process capable of communicating with the client process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process;

a second process capable of communicating with the client process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page in a plurality of web pages and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across the plurality of web pages; and

wherein the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the communication between the first process and the client process can be asynchronous.

10. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the first process and the client process can share information through a shared state.

11. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the first process includes a business process.

12. The system of claim 8 wherein the first process is capable of performing the following step, comprising:

updating the first web page to reflect information received from the first process; and

wherein the updating does not require communication with the second process.

13. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the communication between the second process and the client process can utilize the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

14. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

15. A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by one or more processors cause a system to:

communicate with a first process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process;

communicate with a second process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page in a plurality of web pages and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across the plurality of web pages;

render the first web page; and

wherein the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

16. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the communication with the first process is asynchronous.

17. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the first process and the second process can share information through a shared state.

18. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the first process includes a business process.

19. The machine readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions that when executed cause the system to:

update the first web page to reflect information received from the first process; and

wherein the updating does not require communication with the second process.

20. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the communication with the second process can utilize the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

21. The machine readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions that when executed cause the system to:

communicate with a third process, wherein the third process is a collaboration process; and

wherein the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

22. A computer data signal embodied in a transmission medium, comprising:

a code segment including instructions to communicate with a first process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process;

a code segment including instructions to communicate with a second process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page in a plurality of web pages and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across the plurality of web pages;

a code segment including instructions to render the first web page; and

wherein the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.
