A survey of languages to represent collaboration as a means of designing CSCW facilities in RDL

Software applications are developed by people who work together and software reuse is an area that aims to improve the software development processes. In this paper we investigate design languages available in the related literature that provide explicit support to collaboration mechanisms. Our main research goal is to provide RDL (Reuse Description Language) with mechanisms to support working in Collaborative Software Engineering under the umbrella of CSCW. By looking for languages that support collaboration features, we aim to understand how to design and add CSCW facilities to RDL.
