A Proposal for Model-Based Design and Development of Group Work Tasks in a Shared Context

  • Conference paper
Book cover Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering

Abstract

The design and development of groupware systems is a difficult task, especially due to their multidisciplinary nature and the technical complexity of these kinds of systems (e.g. distribution, data sharing, multi-user interfaces). A model-driven development approach could help to deal with this research problem. This paper presents an approach to tackling the design and development of groupware applications. This approach is part of a framework for the model-based user interface development of collaborative applications (called CIAF; Collaborative Interactive Application Framework), which includes issues of particular relevance based on the use of several models and notations for representing the collaborative and interactive aspects of this kind of systems.
