To conclude, we think that:CM and SP are more and more close each to the other since they share, in some sense, the same objective. They are both concerned with building, rebuilding and protecting consistency among sets of constrained objects. A first difference may be that CM is (was) rather concerned with a limited set of object types, those who are well provided with tools when the scope of PM...
The ever growing request for digital information raises the need for content distribution architectures providing high storage capacity, data availability and good performance. While many simple solutions for scalable distribution of quasi-static content exist, there are still no approaches that can ensure both scalability and consistency for the case of highly dynamic content, such as the data managed...
Massive collaborative editing becomes a reality through leading projects such as Wikipedia. This massive collaboration is currently supported with a costly central service. In order to avoid such costs, we aim to provide a peer-to-peer collaborative editing system. Existing approaches to build distributed collaborative editing systems either do not scale in terms of number of users or in terms of...
Currently, wikis are the most popular form of collaborative editors. Recently, some researches have proposed fully decentralized wikis relying on peer-to-peer networks. This new architecture subtly changes the behavior of wiki in case of concurrent changes. While traditional wikis ensure that all pages have been reviewed by a user, some pages in a P2P wiki are produced by the system through a automatic...
Collaborative writing is the process of two or more people working together to create a common document. People can be distributed in time, in place and across organizations. They can share writing different kinds of documents. In this paper, we focus on collaborative writing of XML documents. XML documents must be validated via a set of constraints called DTD to be considered as consistent. In cooperative...
During collaborative writing each author works on a copy of the shared document. These copies are then merged to produce the final document. This asynchronous work is supported by several collaborative writing tools. While these tools are excellent at merging and detecting syntactic conflicts, they are not able to easily recognise semantic inconsistencies. This hinders the coherence of the document...
In very recent times, organisations have started to shift their focus from highly standardised operational business processes (BPs) to other types of processes that cannot be easily replicated due to the knowledge, skills and creativity of people involved. Consequently the field of business process management (BPM) has gradually evolved to include four different, but equally important components:...
Wikis, a popular tool for sharing knowledge, are basically collaborative editing systems. However, existing Wiki systems offer limited support for co-operative authoring, and they do not scale well, because they are based on a centralised architecture. This paper compares the well-known centralised MediaWiki system with several peer-to-peer approaches to editing of wiki pages: an operational transformation...
The existing collaborative distributed environments (CDE) have several important drawbacks. Consequently, users need to rely on very few of installation like SourceForge and accept all the associated risks. The main objectives of this paper are to describe collaborative technology called LibreSource and to illustrate how this technology can be used to support a collaborative software design process...
Cooperative applications are expected to become commonplace in the future. We are concerned here with a special case of cooperation called indirect cooperation. The idea of the paper is that a Concurrency Control approach better fits to indirect cooperation than a Concurrent Programming one. In other words, there do exist syntactic correctness criteria which define a large sphere of security in...
