Remote applications within remote sessions and local applications do not behave similarly to provide users with a seamless experience. For example, a user may exploit multiple monitors with a local application but cannot with a remote application. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention provide users with the ability to exploit multiple monitors within a single remote session in a manner similar to the one in which they utilize multiple monitors on their desktop computer, laptop etc. Other embodiments extend this so that a user can exploit multiple client devices within a single remote session such that whilst the remote session is established upon a user's portable electronic device, for example, they can also exploit the keyboard, mouse, and monitor of their fixed electronic device for all or part of the session or exploit peripherals and other electronic devices associated with these client devices.
