Quite fascinating clustering technology that allows for Java applications to share part of their data over the cluster and synchronize changes. All of that without modifications to actual applications but on JVM level, clustering behavior of which is configured through configuration files.

I’m not proficient in this field and can’t really extract most important parts of the presentation so you’ll have to watch it by yourself but demos that show two Swing applications running synchronously on two different machines are pretty cool.

Unfortunately I was unable to find slides for this presentation and video demos quality is not very good, but was enough for me to follow the logic.

Enjoy.
