Decentralised Process Enactment in a Multi-Perspective Development Environment

The ViewPoints framework for distributed and concurrent software engineering provides an alternative approach to traditional centralised software development environments. We investigate the use of decentralised process models to drive consistency checking and conict resolution in this framework. Our process models use pattern matching on local development histories to determine the particular situation state of the development process, and employ rules to trigger situationdependent assistance to the user. We describe how communication between such process models facilitates the decentralised management of explicitly de ned consistency constraints in the ViewPoints framework.
