Interfacing Cooperative Transactions to Software Development Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
Many cooperative transaction models are intended to support teams of programmers sharing a software development environment. However, papers on this topic often neglect to describe how the programmers might actually interact with the cooperative transactions in terms of user commands and corresponding responses from the environment. In this paper, we consider a particular cooperative transaction model, called participant transactions, and explain the user model that needs to be implemented by a software development environment.

Cooperative Transactions for Multiuser Environments
This chapter surveys extended transaction models proposed to support long duration, interactive and/or cooperative activities in the context of multi-user software development and CAD/CAM environments. Many of these are variants of the checkout model, which addresses the long duration and interactive nature of the activities supported by environments but still isolates environment users, making...

The eeectiveness of tool integration in software development environments is ultimately measured by its ability in improving the productivity of the user. Traditionally , issues related to tool integration are often classiied according to aspects of such mechanisms as user interface, control, and data integration which are purely from the viewpoint of the environment developer. This mechanism-b...
متن کاملProblems in Interfacing Tools of Different Development Environments
Integrating two separate development environments requires information transfer between the tools or the underlying repositories of the environments. This information transfer has usually been solved by applying ad hoc transformations to integrate the tools within a single development environment. We study the problem of making tools in diierent environments cooperate without modifying the tool...
متن کاملAn Environment for Cooperative Software Development Realization and Implications
The development of large software systems is teamwork that requires tool support for coordinating cooperative activities, maintaining project control and sharing information. Existing collaborative environments that aim to support cooperative software development often try to predefine and automate the development process. This leads to problems since software development is a highly dynamic pr...
