A new model for supporting collaborative software
development with shared multiple textual and graphical
views is presented. Multiple views of software
development can be synchronously, semi-synchronously
and asynchronously edited by different developers. View
versions can be incrementally merged, and view updates
broadcast to other developers and incrementally
incorporated as required in their alternative versions.
The model is illustrated by its use in a software
development environment for an object-oriented
language.
1. Introduction
Software systems are growing ever larger and more
complex. Two related approaches to managing this
complexity are integrated software development
