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.
