Support for collaborative, integrated software development

A new model for supporting collaborative software development with shared, multiple textual and graphical views is presented. Multiple views of software development can be synchronously, semi-synchronously and asynchronously edited by different developers. View versions can be incrementally merged, and view updates broadcast to other developers and incrementally incorporated as required in their alternative versions. The model is illustrated by its use in a software development environment for an object-oriented language.<
