Abstract

This paper presents an approach to support collaborative modeling with graph based representations. In particular, the problem of partially shared models with associated semantics is addressed, and an architectural solution to enable flexible modes of partial application synchronization under the constraint of retaining a common semantics in the shared model parts is presented.
