An Expressive Role-based Approach for Improving Distributed Collaboration Transparency
This paper presents an approach for applying the Remote Role-Playing (RRP) concepts in the development of Distributed Collaborative Applications (DCAs) that use the collaboration-based (role-based) design. The paper studies a programming model called Object Teams (OT), which aims at implementing this design for the object-orientated languages. Then, it introduces the RRP for improving the DCAs modularity through mapping the fundamentals of the OT model to distributed environments. The approach is demonstrated through developing a simple case study.
Keywords: Distributed collaborative application (DCA); DCA Modularity; Role-based design; Object Teams (OT)
