在本文中，我们提出了一个软件工具包，用于跨四个维度部署点对点分布式图形用户界面：多个显示器、多个平台、多个操作系统和多个用户，无论是独立还是并发。该工具包基于连接到一个或多个渲染引擎的多用途代理的概念，以便为任何用户、任何操作系统（Linux、Mac OS X 和 Windows XP 或更高版本）、任何计算平台（从袖珍 PC 到墙屏）和/或任何显示器（从私人显示器到公共显示器）渲染部分或全部图形用户界面。该工具包是真正的点对点解决方案，因为没有计算平台用于服务器或客户端：任何用户界面都可以跨用户、系统和平台分布，而不受其位置、系统约束和平台约束的影响。定义工具包概念后，在两个基于非表单的用户界面上描述、激励和举例说明其实现：分布式办公自动化和分布式交互式游戏。
In this paper we present a software toolkit for deploying peer-to-peer distributed graphical user interfaces across four dimensions: multiple displays, multiple platforms, multiple operating systems, and multiple users, either independently or concurrently. This toolkit is based on the concept of multi-purpose proxy connected to one or many rendering engines in order to render a graphical user interface in part or whole for any user, any operating system (Linux, Mac OS X and Windows XP or higher), any computing platform (ranging from a pocket PC to a wall screen), and/or any display (ranging from private to public displays). This toolkit is a genuine peer-to-peer solution in that no computing platform is used for a server or for a client: any user interface can be distributed across users, systems, and platforms independently of their location, system constraints, and platform constraints. After defining the toolkit concepts, its implementation is described, motivated, and exemplified on two non-form based user interfaces: a distributed office automation and a distributed interactive game.
