The concept of a digital layout Studio (VDS) has been round for a few years. within the early days, constructing a fashion of shifting records through dossier move used to be sufficient to set up a digital layout studio. Our expectancies are better now. in addition to rfile move, we think on the way to paintings with others at a distance as though they have been within the similar actual room. we've seen how electronic mail, video meetings, and shared whiteboards supplies environments during which we will do a few of the issues we're used to doing head to head. the web has replaced the best way we converse at a private point and now impacts the way in which we paintings professionally. in addition to the hot expertise and the preliminary pleasure, we have now additionally skilled frustration while our expectancies are past the aptitude for the know-how to carry. This frustration is because of the relative immaturity of software program options to collaboration, and likewise as a result loss of software program help for designing. we can't simply take a collection of instruments off the shelf and create a digital layout studio. We first have to comprehend what's attainable in a digital layout studio, after which comprehend what the know-how offers. At a extra basic point, we have to comprehend the diversities among operating within the actual presence of our collaborators and utilizing expertise to permit us to speak at a distance.

14 by the same graphical browser9 • The concept of a Virtual Design Studio (liDS) in this paper refers to a networked design studio. A conventional design studio is a place in which designers work on drawing boards andlor CAD. The VDS takes this notion and distributes it across space and time. In a VDS: - the design group is composed of people invarious locations; - the design process and designers' communications are computer-mediated and computer-supported; - the information "inside" the studio is handled in electronic form; - the final design documentation is also in electronic form.

The use of different ports is useful when running several services under the same protocol. In the example above, there is a standard port for the web server and a special port for the course materials server. The "http,,4 string denotes a lightweight request/response protocol, which regulates the data transfer between the Web server and the Web client. The paradigm is illustrated in Fig. 8. The Web client application sends a request message to the server, which, roughly speaking, states what the client wants to do (the "method" in terms of protocol designers), the media types it can accept, and identifies itself to the browser.
