分布式计算模式下的协同编著系统

Cooperative authoring system in distributed computing model

协同编著过程是以异步协作为主、同步协作为辅 ,隐式协作为主、显式协作为辅的过程 ,要求协同编著系统对各种协作 (特别是异步隐式协作 )给予全面支持。基于分布式计算模式开发的协同编著系统 DCA ,一方面提供众多通用的协作工具 ,满足不同领域对协作的共同需求 ,另一方面提供丰富的协作功能服务 ,让开发者很方便地利用现有功能开发新的协作应用和集成已有应用 ,较好地解决了在开发集成的协作系统时遇到的来自用户需求和实现技术两方面的问题。

In cooperative authoring, asynchronous cooperation and implicit cooperation are dominant processes with synchronous and explicit cooperation as subordinate processes. A cooperative authoring system is supposed to provide comprehensive support for all types of cooperation. Distributed computing technologies were used to develope a distributed cooperative authoring (DCA) system which incorporates multiple cooperation tools intended for end users and common cooperation function services for developers to facilitate the development of new applications and the integration of existing applications. Specialized cooperative authoring systems can be built by integrating domain specific authoring tools into DCA, resulting in shortened development cycles, reduced cost, and a reduced gap between system generality and customers' special needs.
