Topics : groupware engineering, awareness mechanisms, large-scale collaborative editors

*Actual focus : concurrency awareness for P2P collaborative editors *
in an asynchronous P2P editor, concurrent updates are merged on each site without the control of users. Although the underlying merge algorithm may
produce free of conflicts results, the merged document need to be reviewed by a user. Our objective is to help end-users in this review process by providing awareness about
what changes were concurrently made to the document. This awareness mechanism is based on three components : a log analyzer that detects concurrent operations
for a merged document, a visualization tool to underline the effects of the concurrent operations in the document, and a visualization tool to underline concurrent operations
in the history log of the document.

Industry Collaboration : Concerto XWiki, a P2P version of the XWiki wiki system
