# Real Time Solid

Half Day (2 sessions)

### Description

HTTP was originally designed to transfer a static documents within a single request and response. But web-applications today are dynamic, providing (near-)instantaneous updates across multiple clients. The notification protocols in Solid cater to the needs of Solid developers to provide their users with a real-time experience.

The "Real-Time" Solid session at the Solid Symposium 2024 will provide an introduction to notification standards within Solid as well as existing implementations within the Solid server and client library ecosystem. The intoduction aims to pave the way for a discussion with the broader community of the Solid developers of the ways in which we can improve the real-time capabilities in Solid as well as the developer experience around it. We could use the time to also consider some of the more involved issues in existing specifications (if such a request is raised in advance). The ideas generated in the course of this discussion can then form the basis for a subsequent hackathon.

### Topics

This session will comprise of presentations on existing notifications standards for Solid as well as demos of implementations. Further, it will also include presentations/proposals for future directions to integrate more real-time capabilities into Solid. Topics under discussion will include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. Solid Notifications Protocol and Channel Types
2. Per Resource Events Protocol and Solid-PREP
3. State Synchronization using CRDT/OTs
