Supporting Collaborative Drawing with the Mask Versioning Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a synchronous collaborative graphical editor that implements a proposal of an awareness mechanism of a collaborative artifact evolution. The graphical editor allows real-time, highly interactive collaborative work, using the mask metaphor to help participants in creating new diagram versions without interrupting the interaction as also to provide awareness of the diagram versions created. This paper describes the mask metaphor, the collaborative editor that implements this metaphor and discusses a case study conducted with the use of the tool.

Engineering plug-in software components to support collaborative work
Many software applications require co-operative work support, including collaborative editing, group awareness, versioning, messaging and automated notification and coordination agents. Most approaches hard-code such facilities into applications, with fixed functionality and limited ability to reuse groupware implementations. We describe our recent work in seamlessly adding such capabilities to...
