Abstract
The Notification Service Transfer Protocol (NSTP) is an infrastructure for building synchronous groupware. It is based on the idea of a coordinating notification server that is independent of any given synchronous groupware application. NSTP is intended in some ways to be the synchronous analog of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). We describe the features of NSTP, emphasizing similarities and differences with respect to HTTP, and present our rationale for including those features.
