Abstract

The article focuses on the development of a practical groupware system that allows each group member to modify a shared file unlike to traditional groupware systems in which updates from different users will conflict. The moderated collaborated mechanism maintains multiple copies of the shared object and also maintains one updateable copy of the shared content on each group member's node by introducing additional storage and conflict resolution overhead.
