Systems and methods for multi-party distributed active co-browsing

A method of hosting a collaborating session between client nodes, the method comprising:

• generating a first model of an accessed web application, the first model corresponding to a current state of the web application;
• providing, to the client nodes, at least a portion of a spatial event map (i) identifying a log of events in a virtual workspace and (ii) including respective locations of digital assets related to the events in the virtual workspace, wherein the web application is a digital asset of a plurality of digital assets related to the events, and wherein the portion of the spatial event map allows for display, on a display of each of the client nodes, of the first model of the web application in a co-browsing session between the client nodes;
• receiving an input event including an input from at least one client node and applying the received input to the current state of the web application;
• creating a second model of the web application as a result of, at least, an update to the current state of the web application in dependence upon the received input;
• and
• updating the portion of the spatial event map at respective client nodes to include an update event identifying a difference between the first model and the second model, wherein the updated portion of the spatial event map allows display, on the display of each of the client nodes, of the second model of the web application corresponding to the updated state of the web application.
