“…Send message/add note events are then created (5) and sent to Mark's note annotation and text messaging components (6,7,8,9), instructing them to display a text message and annotate Mark's travel item view. When these events are sent to Mark's components the text messaging component formulates a new text message (8,10) and displays this (12). Mark's note annotation component creates a new note (9,11) and displays this in Mark's travel view (13) and records the note details for future perusal (14).…”

“…Examples include the groupware toolkits GroupKit [1], Clockworks [2,3], Rendezvous [4,5], Suite [6] and COAST [7]; architectures like Clock [3], MetaMOOSE [8] and ALV [5]; and extensible groupware tools like Teamwave [9], CocoDoc [10], ConversationBuilder [11] and MS Netmeeting TM [12]. Many groupware-enabled tools have also been developed using ad hoc techniques, such as Grove [13], Mjolner [14], Oz [15] and SPADE [16].…”

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 component-based applications via a set of collaborative work-supporting plug-in software components. We describe a variety of applications of this technique, along with descriptions of the novel architecture, user interface adaptation and implementation techniques for the collaborative work-supporting components that we have developed. We report on our experiences to date with this method of supporting collaborative work enhancement of component-based systems, and discuss the advantages of our approach over conventional techniques.

“…Components communicate via event propagation and/or message invocation, but often use other components to manage distributed data. Examples of environments using this approach include TeamWAVE, COAST [37], CoCoDoc [38], and SPESerendipity [14]. The use of software components to model tools and parts of tools typically allows more effective data and control integration than with other approaches.…”

Developing software engineering tools is a difficult task, and the environments in which these tools are deployed continually evolve as software developers' processes, tools and tool sets evolve. To more effectively develop such evolvable environments, we have been using component-based approaches to build and integrate a range of software development tools, including CASE and workflow tools, file servers and versioning systems, and a variety of reusable software agents. We describe the rationale for a component-based approach to developing such tools, the architecture and support tools we have used, some resultant tools and tool facilities we have developed, and summarise possible future research directions in this area.

“…On the other hand, there are also many peer-to-peer collaborative editing systems [6,14,27,28,21] and research efforts on improving the concurrency control in the P2P setting [19,10,22,25,24]. Typically, P2P systems require the documents to be replicated on each involved device and are sometimes cumbersome for session switches when the authors are mobile.…”

Abstract.A realtime collaborative editor facilitates concurrent editing of a document by multiple authors. It is desired that the document be shared only among the authors, and protected from the potentially curious server. Existing approaches have taken two distinct paths -centralized server based approaches that achieve high concurrency and meet real-time requirement but compromise on security and incur high server cost, and peer-to-peer based approaches that support security but compromise on users' convenience and mobility. In this paper, we observe that by relaxing the realtime requirement, we can achieve security, reduce server cost and yet exploit the conveniences of the centralized setting. In particular, we consider generic low-cost storage servers in the cloud that provide storage integrity but do not guarantee low-latency. Essentially, our method breaks the document into small encrypted regions that are stored on the server and coordinates the authors' access. Although two authors are unable to concurrently modify a same region, the system is able to provide "quasi-realtime" experience. By relaxing the requirement to quasi-realtime, the difficulties in achieving document consistency, and the requirement on resources are significantly reduced. We give a proof-of-concept implementation on top of Dropbox, a commercial cloud storage service. Preliminary user studies show that the system is effective.
