- 1. COAST An Open Source Smalltalk Framework to Build Synchronous Collaborative Applications Jan Schümmer, Till Schümmer, Christian Schuckmann GMD - IPSI, Darmstadt, Germany intelligent views, Darmstadt, Germany {jan.schuemmer|till.schuemmer}@gmd.de christian.schuckmann@i-views.de
- 2. focus Support the development of • object oriented, • synchronous, • interactive, and • complex (e.g. hypermedia applications) motivation requirements groupware. application structure groupware model realization usage experiences
- 3. sample groupware application motivation requirements application structure groupware model realization collaborative UML editor usage experiences
- 4. problem statement Writing groupware is difficult. It is different from single-user application development. • more than one user at a time (multiple I/O) • provision of group awareness • support of different collaboration modes motivation requirements It is error prone. application • process synchronization structure • data consistency groupware • network (components) failure model realization usage experiences
- 5. support groupware developers architecture • reference architecture • ready-to-use components • e.g. server component model • class hierarchy serves as a template for groupware applications motivation requirements implementation application • do and hide as much of the ‘hard and structure dirty work‘ as possible groupware • e.g. synchronisation of shared objects model realization usage experiences
- 6. requirements groupware-specific requirements • group awareness • coupling control • session management • floor control motivation general requirements requirements • ease of use => right level of application abstraction structure • consistency, uniform approach groupware model • reusability realization usage experiences
- 7. structure in single-user applications 1 divide functionality motivation requirements application structure groupware model realization usage experiences

- 9. from single-user to multi-user: sharing the domain model + synchronized domain model + view/controller and application model can remain unchanged - system is not collaboration aware motivation requirements application structure groupware model realization usage experiences
- 10. from single-user to multi-user: sharing the application model + application state can be motivation accessed from each requirements application instance application structure + application state consistent groupware with domain model state model realization usage experiences

- 18. transactions shared objects are modified in transactions • prevent inconsistencies • short transactions • optimistic or pessimistic • ACID properties transaction processing • local execution motivation • local commit requirements • send agenda to mediator application structure • global commit / reject groupware • broadcast changes to synchronize replica model realization usage experiences
- 19. view updating virtual slots • cache computation results • computation • on demand (lazy) • on invalidation (eager) • automatic invalidation • dependencies between model and motivation requirements virtual slots are detected by the application framework structure groupware views have virtual slots that trigger model redisplay realization usage experiences
