“…This means that, CSWs should be able to be defined and executed quickly, and modified even when they are being executed. Bonita 3.1 [12] is a workflow management system that supports collaborative processes, the workflow processes allowing definition and execution operations just after the processes are created, which satisfy the above requirements of CSWs. Therefore, we develop CSWMS by customizing and extending this open source package with functions relating to artifact management and inconsistency awareness.…”

“…CSWMS DB contains the information about CSWs in the system, Change requests, Roles, Users, and Inconsistencies. These components are developed by customizing and extending Bonita Engine 3.1 [12] to fit the requirements of CSWMS. For example, new data, such as the atomic changes and inconsistencies, are added to CSWMS DB.…”

SUMMARYIn collaborative software developments, many change processes implementing change requests are executed concurrently by different workers. The fact that the workers do not have sufficient information about the others' work and complicated dependencies among artifacts can lead to unexpected inconsistencies among the artifacts impacted by the changes. Most previous studies concentrated only on concurrent changes and considered them separately. However, even when the changes are not concurrent, inconsistencies may still happen if a worker does not recognize the impact of the changes made by other workers on his changes or the impact of his changes on other workers' changes. In addition, the changes in a change process are related to each other through their common target of realizing the change request and the dependencies among the changed artifacts. Therefore, to handle inconsistencies more effectively, we concentrate on both concurrent and non-concurrent changes, and the context of a change, i.e. the change process containing the change, rather than the ongoing changes only. In this paper, we present an inconsistency awareness mechanism and a Change Support Workflow Management System (CSWMS) that realizes this mechanism. By monitoring the progress of the change processes and the ongoing changes in the client workspaces, CSWMS can notify the workers of a (potential) inconsistency in advance along with the context of the inconsistency, that is, the changes causing the inconsistency and the change processes containing these changes. Based on the information provided by CSWMS, the workers can detect and resolve inconsistencies more easily and quickly. Therefore, our research can contribute to building a safer and more efficient collaborative software development environment. key words: inconsistency awareness, context awareness, patterns of inconsistency, change process, collaborative software development

“…Such processes indeed need the consensus of the involved actors. Also, they are flexible [4], since they might need to be adapted, even during their execution, to the preferences of team members, as well as to the team members' evolution of background knowledge and competencies due to learning.…”

Abstract. Project-centred learning is increasingly used both in academia and in companies; universities train students to master complex tasks, often suggested by real-life situations, while companies train users to learn about new products, methods, technologies. This paper introduces a model-driven, extensible environment, delivered on the Web, which is able to support long-distance collaboration of teams working on complex projects. The main merit of this proposal is the ability to self-organize processes, by using a simple Web interface and a library of activities and templates which cover most of the needs of this welldefined class of applications. This paradigm for dynamic workflow management is very general and can be applied to other application contexts, after understanding and modelling the relevant collaboration activities and templates.
