MONO: A Computer-Supported Cooperative Tool for Digital Content Software Projects

This paper presents MONO, a tool to support interdisciplinary and geographically dispersed teams. MONO supports the definition, execution, and monitoring of collaborative processes to allow development engineers to interact with musicians, designers, and producers, to create digital contents such as video games or animated short films. MONO supports geographically distributed teams, involved in digital content software development projects, by means of dynamic and configurable executable processes, and coordination and monitoring tools. In this work, we describe our experience developing MONO and the results obtained in our initial validation.
