A method, software program and computer network allow multiple users to communicate in a shared virtual environment while efficiently using available data transmission capabilities for providing to each user efficient communications access to interesting entities such as other users and generalized information. The network preferably includes a host interactivity server and multiple client computers. The method includes establishing a connection and a context between the server and each client computer and negotiating an interest expression of a client based on information relating to a subject user, and based on available bandwidth and network traffic. Transmission is, based the interest expression, then permitted to the client of interesting entities, while uninteresting entities are filtered. Transmission is then also permitted to other users having an interest in the subject user information relating to the subject user, while the information relating to the subject user is filtered from being transmitted to other users not having an interest in the subject user. Dynamic interest update information of the subject user is used to negotiate an updated interest expression. Previously interesting entities may then become uninteresting, and previously uninteresting other entities may become interesting, and likewise the client to other users, depending on the updated interest expression. Updated information relating to other entities can have a similar effect with respect to those other entities.

A network communications protocol program includes an active protocol stack and an inactive protocol stack, wherein a component from the inactive stack may be called into the active stack when a particular data communications type is detected. The component may be deactivated when the particular data communications type is finished. The program preferably includes socket layer, channel layer and message handling layer components for permitting and extracting communications over a network. The socket layer component receives data from a sender over a network, and defragments and reassembles the data for multiplexing and distributing data portions into multiple channels according to the data formats the data portions resemble. The channel layer component includes channels arranged according to the multiple data formats. The channel layer receives the data portions processed by the socket layer and multiplexes and distributes new data portions according to which of multiple APIs the data is directed to. The message handler component includes the APIs and receives and handles the data processed by the channel and socket layers according to user-defined responsibilities each of the APIs is configured to perform. The program is also configured for sending data over the network to multiple recipients.

According to various illustrative embodiments of the present invention, a method for sharing rendering of a user interface component for an information handling application comprises instructing a plurality of information handling application components, using an information handling application code, to send a particular component to be rendered by one of a plurality of universal renderers, wherein each universal renderer is associated with a respective one of the information handling application components. The method continues by rendering the particular information handling application component to produce a rendered information handling application component. The method concludes by providing the rendered information handling application component to an information handling application rendering library, so that when a plurality of the information handling application components has been rendered, then the information handling application rendering library will comprise the set of rendered information handling application components.
