Title
Layered Consistency Management for Advanced Collaborative Compound Document Authoring.
Abstract
In distributed collaborative document authoring environments, the preservation of a globally consistent data state is an important factor. However, synchronization conflicts are unavoidable and constitute a serious challenge. Our advanced compound document system provides the basis for a novel consistency management approach, in particular regarding autonomous conflict detection and resolution. Current techniques to achieve and maintain global consistency in distributed environments almost exclusively utilize file-based data structures, thereby limiting the accessibility to supplementary information. In this paper, we present a layer-based consistency management approach harnessing a fine-granular, graph-based data representation and relational dependencies. We discuss the application of concurrent conflict detection and resolution modules designed to preserve user intent while avoiding workflow interruptions. The combination of an advanced compound document system with autonomous, layer-based consistency management has the potential to notably increase reliability and facilitate the collaborative authoring process.
