“…These steps in the methodological procedure include: domain specification whose output is system architecture framework, meta-modeling whose output is meta-models (e.g. domain specific language), model transformations whose output is domain specific modeling environment, and user-friendly modeling [15][16]. Certainly there are several activities not illustrated in this figure after the end step of user-friendly modeling, these activities are some model mapping mechanisms to generate the preferred running application.…”

Abstract. The design and development of distributed simulation systems are a complex process, and the Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) methodology is progressively gaining popularity as it uses domain knowledge directly to specify systems in a higher level of abstraction. In this research plan an Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) based domain specific modeling method is proposed to realize the abstract models specification and systematically transform them into concrete implementations automatically. With the toolkits that EMF provides with, the method reduces the gap between problem domain and technological implementations mainly by means of meta-modeling, models transformation and code generation technology. Finally, a proper research schedule, displayed as a research topic-time table, is configured to achieve the idea.

“…Moreover, the diagrams that represent the interaction among actors are just a small tweak from either UML Activity diagrams or Workflow diagrams incorporating legends denoting the passing of parameters. Finally, the CTT model [35] and a view of the CIAN notation [33] are based on a diagram with a hierarchical structure that divides a task into smaller pieces of work, until arriving at a single unit performed by an actor. CTT provides a wide range of operators to specify the sequence, input and output, choices, parallelism of actions, etc.…”

.Brezillon@lip6.fr RÉSUMÉ. Le formalisme des Graphes contextuels permet de représenter la réalisation d'une tâche par un acteur. L'objectif est de fournir aux décideurs un panorama clair des différentes pratiques pour réaliser une tâche, et ainsi pouvoir choisir la meilleure pratique dans le contexte rencontré. Le formalisme des Graphes Contextuels a été utilisé avec succès dans de nombreux domaines tels que la médecine, la biologie, et les transports. Dans ce papier, nous proposons une extension du formalisme pour modéliser des activités collaboratives, et illustrer les extensions apportées dans une application de taille réelle pour l'Armée (projet TACTIC). Les extensions portent sur (1) l'introduction de paramètres de simulation pour manager les interactions entre acteurs, (2) une notion de tour pour modéliser une traversée du méta-graphe contextuel (le modèle de l'activité du groupe), (3) un mécanisme de gestion des tours entre les membres du groupe pour manager l'utilisation cyclique du méta-graphe contextuel, et (4) un simulateur basé sur les graphes contextuels pour étudier les interactions entre les acteurs. Une réelle compréhension d'une activité collaborative ne se limite pas à aider le décideur, mais à fournir aussi des outils pour construire des applications opérationnelles. ABSTRACT. The Contextual-Graph (CxG) formalism allows the representation of a task realization by an actor. The objective is to provide decision makers with a clear panorama of the different ways to realize a task (i.e. the practices), and thus of the implications of choosing one alternative or another. The Contextual-Graph formalism has been successfully used in many fields, such as medicine, biology, and transportation. In this paper, we extend the formalism to modeling group activity, and illustrate its extensions on a real-world application called the TACTIC project. The extensions concern the introduction of (1) simulation parameters for managing the interactions among the actors, (2) the notion of turn for representing a traversal of the contextual meta-graph (the model of the group activity), (3) a turn mechanism for incorporating the cyclic use of the contextual meta-graph, and (4) a CxG-based simulator for studying interaction among group members. A real understanding of group activity does not just help decision makers, but also provides real requirements for building successful applications. MOTS-CLÉS.

“…A great deal of other work can be found on the development of CSCW systems, such as design guidelines, implementation techniques, empirical evaluations of CSCW systems, and even specific development methodologies . For instance, related to CSCW systems design, particularly for mobile applications, Antunes proposed design guidelines to help designers to identify places, users, artifacts, and geo‐referenced knowledge. These guidelines identify what information is of interest to designers and how user requirements may be applied.…”

As in any other system, an accurate requirements specification is essential to developing a collaborative system, which has special kinds of requirements that are hard to specify by means of current Requirements Engineering techniques. The Collaborative Systems Requirement Modeling Framework (CSRMF) was developed to address this problem; the original Collaborative Systems Requirement Modeling Language was extended and modeled to properly deal with collaboration and awareness requirements. The developed CSRMF framework consists of 3 components: an Requirements Engineering modeling language able to represent collaboration among users as well as awareness needs, a set of design guidelines that drive Computer Supported Cooperative Work system specification by means of 5 different types of diagrams, and a supporting computer-aided software engineering tool to specify and validate Computer Supported Cooperative Work system requirements. CSRMF provides Requirements Engineers with a complete solution to the specification of awareness-demanding collaborative systems, as they can now take advantage of a language and a set of guidelines supported by a tool to guide them in specifying system requirements.
