Most real-time collaboration software nowadays are using client-server architecture. That implies the users have to be connected to the server to participate in the collaboration. This project aims to build a real-time collaboration software using peer-to-peer architecture. Peer-to-peer architecture enables a group of interconnected users to collaborate without having to be connected to a centralized server. This report describes the design and implementation of SharedMind, the collaboration version of FreeMind, an open-source mind-mapping software. The synchronous and asynchronous collaboration processes in SharedMind will be explained in detail.
