摘要

背景：建模是软件开发生命周期中的一项活动，专家和利益相关者作为一个团队进行协作。在协作建模中，遵循乐观版本范式允许用户同时对同一模型进行修改，但可能会出现冲突。方法：我们提出了CoMPers，一个可定制、可扩展的冲突管理框架，旨在解决协作建模中遇到的各种冲突。我们提出了根据用户偏好自动检测和解决冲突的决斗算法。该框架利用个性化变更传播来定制协作，并通过根据用户偏好执行决斗算法来支持冲突管理流程。作为概念验证，我们实施了CoMPers框架，并扩展了EMF.cloud建模框架，以证明其适用性。结果：我们构建了一个概念验证实施方案，并进行了实际案例研究、基准实验和用户体验评估。我们的研究结果表明(结论：本文提出了基于个性化变更传播的CoMPers框架，帮助合作者定制冲突管理活动。研究结果证实了在 CoMPers 协作平台上进行一致和并发建模的可行性和优势，其功能对于大约 10 个协作者来说是可以接受的。

CoMPers: A configurable conflict management framework for personalized collaborative modeling

Context:

Modeling is an activity in the software development life cycle where experts and stakeholders collaborate as a team. In collaborative modeling, adhering to the optimistic versioning paradigm allows users to make concurrent changes to the same model, but conflicts may arise. To achieve an integrated and consistent merged model, conflicts must be resolved.

Objective:

The primary objective of this study was to provide a customizable and extensible framework for conflict management in personalized change propagation during collaborative modeling.

Methods:

We propose CoMPers, a customizable and extensible conflict management framework designed to address various conflicts encountered in collaborative modeling. We present the duel algorithm for automatically detecting and resolving conflicts according to user preferences. The framework utilizes personalized change propagation to customize collaboration and supports the conflict management process by executing the duel algorithm based on user preferences. As a proof-of-concept, we have implemented the CoMPers framework and extended the EMF.cloud modeling framework to demonstrate its applicability.

Results:

We have constructed a proof-of-concept implementation and conducted a real-world case study, a benchmark experiment, and a user experience evaluation. Our findings demonstrate that: (1) CoMPers enables collaborators to configure propagation strategies according to their habits; (2) CoMPers successfully identifies all anticipated conflicts and achieves a 100% accuracy in conflict handling; (3) The majority of participants agreed that CoMPers is user-friendly for collaborative modeling.

Conclusion:

This paper presents the CoMPers framework, which is based on personalized change propagation, and helps collaborators customize conflict management activities. The results confirm the feasibility and advantages of consistent and concurrent modeling within the collaborative CoMPers platform, with an acceptable functionality for approximately ten collaborators.
