Keywords: concurrency control, consistency models, cooperative editing, distributed computing, CSCW. 1 Introduction Cooperative editing systems are very useful and intensively used tools in the rapidly expanding area of CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) [5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16]. A cooperative editing system allows multiple users to view and edit a shared document simultaneously from different sites, which are connected by a communication network. Each site typically contains an user interface for generating editing operations and displaying shared documents, a local ....

....We have already distinguished between inanimate and human interactions in information searching. There are in fact several other dimensions along which interactions may be classified, and these are now described. Research in CSCW classifies collaboration along spatial and temporal dimensions (Rodden, 1991). Thus, collaboration may be classed as remote or co located, as well as being synchronous or asynchronous. In conventional libraries, we can consider most interactions to be co located and synchronous (see Section 4.3) but the computerisation process makes the other permutations possible, while ....

....CSCW system, also called groupware. Based on the (a)synchronous form of the interaction and the geographical nature of the participants, Rodden distinguishes four classes of groupware systems: message systems, computer conferencing systems, meeting rooms, and co authoring and argumentation systems [Rodden, 1991]. Our interest is mainly in the latter type of system, as activities in research networks mainly consist of co producing scientific texts and structuring the required reasoning processes. An important issue in CSCW systems is the degree of control they exert on their users[Rodden, 1991] If ....

....systems [Rodden, 1991] Our interest is mainly in the latter type of system, as activities in research networks mainly consist of co producing scientific texts and structuring the required reasoning processes. An important issue in CSCW systems is the degree of control they exert on their users[Rodden, 1991]. If interaction procedures are too prescriptive, users will feel too constrained to effectively cooperate. Therefore, the system must be a semi formal system [Lai et al. 1988] This means that not only the information objects, but also the processing rules of the system must be modifiable by the ....

Turoff (1991) reviews the historical evolution of the technology, emphasising that computer mediated communication (CMC) systems should enable a group of people to exhibit collective intelligence. Computer conferencing systems traditionally address asynchronous interaction among users (Rodden, 1991) and are based on textual based information. Recent advances in computers and telecommunications has led to the integration of computer, audio, and video communications. The development of the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) promises to provide a unified solution to the transmission of ....

....or multi user interface to information systems have emerged as an important factor in the development of collaborative and distributed design systems. Therefore, a number of frameworks for reviewing and characterising CSCW and groupware systems have been proposed (Buulen and Bennett, 1990; Rodden, 1991; Greenberg et al. 1992; Peng, 1993) Based on the objectives and various perspectives of each review, the following classification schemes or aspects are discussed: Time Space Taxonomy. The first two principals that are used to classify most collaborative systems are: time and space that is ....

KEYWORDS CSCW, versioning, cooperation modes, alternative object states, group awareness, hypertext INTRODUCTION Current CSCW applications (see [3] [8] for an overview of CSCW systems) support a group of coworkers performing a task on a shared information base. Usually, these systems support a specific collaboration model, e.g. asynchronous collaboration through draft passing, or synchronous collaboration through joint editing. At any point in ....

If people are at the same place at different times then one can leave a message for the other (perhaps pinned to a notice board) If people interact from different places and different times then one needs ....

A good discussion and categorisation of CSCW can be found in [Rodden,92] The collaborative exchange of multimedia information requires efficient and scalable multicast and broadcast protocols to minimise the consumption of network bandwidth (for example, the Scalable Reliable Multicast (SRM) Floyd,95] framework which underpins the wb shared white board tool ....

....early days of GSS, this was predominantly the most important feature as collaboration in a group more often than not required immediate input and feedback. Therefore the ability to simultaneously view and correct a document, for example, would be critically dependent on this characteristic. Rodden [16] defines group work based on spatial (local or remote) and temporal relationships (asynchronous or synchronous) analogous to geographical scope and real time ability. He further uses this relationship to separate CSCW systems into four classes, messaging systems, conferencing systems, meeting ....

....and information to each other quickly and effectively. Generally in a CSCW system, both of these are present, and the boundaries between them are often blurred. 2 Two distinguishing characteristics in co operative work are the location of the participants, and the time at which they participate (Rodden 1992). These can be used to classify the various methods and approaches to co operative work into four categories, as shown in Figure 1. However, some applications are designed to work identically regardless of one or both of these considerations, so these categories should not be considered distinct ....

One example is the ....

Appeared in Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Concurrent Engineering, Washington DC, USA, Auguest 1995, pp.279 290. 1 Introduction Cooperative editing facilities are among the most useful and intensively used tools in the area of computer supported cooperative work [2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]. A cooperative editing environment consists of multiple cooperative sites connected by a communication network. Each site usually corresponds to a machine (workstation) for maintaining local duplicates of the shared editing documents, performing operations on the local duplicates, displaying the ....

A computerised library that is accessed remotely will lack these advantages unless we take steps to re introduce them into the system. Research in Computer Supported Cooperative Work employs a useful classification of collaboration [Rodden, 1991]. Collaboration may be remote or co located, as well as being synchronous or asynchronous. In conventional libraries, we can consider most cooperation to be co located and synchronous, but the computerisation process makes the other permutations possible, while offering new opportunities for the ....
