Abstract
A method and system for managing software application states selects a plurality of stateful applications for reinstatement at a later time. A set of data contexts is generated based on the selected applications. The set of data contexts is pushed onto a data stack. Thereafter the set of data contexts is popped from the data stack for reinstatement. Each step or function may be initiated automatically or through user input, and may be used in a single-user, multi-user or collaborative setting.
