“…Different strategies can be used in different applications, either relying on explicit notification, using a shared feedback approach [11], or combining both styles. Further details on the requirements and design choices for asynchronous groupware in mobile computing environments are presented elsewhere [33].…”

“…The result of this execution is tentative (showing the expected result) [13], as an update only affects the official state of a coobject when it is finally executed in the servers. To guarantee that all (server) replicas evolve in a consistent way and that users intentions are respected, different concurrency control/reconciliation components implementing different strategies may be used in the server (this problem is discussed extensively in [33]). …”

“…To this end, we have added support for synchronous sessions in the DOORS system [33], a replicated storage system designed to support asynchronous groupware. DOORS manipulates coobjects: data objects structured according to the DOORS object framework, allowing different data-sharing strategies to be used by different applications.…”

Abstract. It is common that, in a long-term asynchronous collaborative activity, groups of users engage in occasional synchronous sessions. In this paper, we analyze the requirements for supporting this common work practice in typical collaborative activities and applications. This analysis shows that, for some applications, it is necessary to rely on different data sharing techniques in synchronous and asynchronous settings. We present a data management system that allows to integrate a synchronous session in the context of a long-term asynchronous interaction, using the suitable data sharing techniques in each setting. We exemplify the use of our system with two multi-synchronous applications.

Abstract-Generally, it is seen that the disable people most commonly blinds in our society are not encouraged to work with normal community due to lack of vision, communication, and understandings. Fortunately, this is no longer a big issue. By use of modern technology and tools we can develop flexible environments in which blinds work collaboratively with normal ones and share their knowledge with each other to produce a robust and worthy task. In this research, we solve the issue by proposing a platform for different categories of people (fully/partially impaired and normal). The locally/remotely distributed participants work together (online or offline) in a Web based co-authoring environment to produce a shared document. The system presents a simplified design of mechanisms to share, modify, and update document and their resources in a consistent and controlled way such that each group member can easily able to know the updates and be well aware about the current state of the common object. The main goal of the research is to make the handicap persons self-reliant, confident, and independent so that they can play their equal part in every group activity of the society. The approach is evaluated by means of experiments conducted with blinds and normal authors in a distributed environment.
