Abstract: Real-time collaborative editing (RTCE) can support a group of people collaboratively work from distributed locations at the same time. However, consistency maintenance is one key challenge when different types of conflicts happen. Therefore a common synchronous mechanism is proposed to support consistency maintenance in the process of multi-view business modeling. Based on operation analysis on different views of models in the real-time collaborative editing system, detection of potential conflicts is realized by means of a decision-making tree. Then consistency maintenance provides a comprehensive and applicable conflicts detection and resolution for collaborative business modeling. Finally, a prototype of collaborative multi-view business modeling system is introduced to verify the approach. The point is that the mechanism proposes a comprehensive solution for collaborative multi-view business modeling.
