Abstract

ACME is an integration experiment with Marvel (a process centered environment) and ConversationBuilder (a CSCW system). Scrutiny, a collaborative software inspection system built with ConversationBuilder, is the subject application that operates in the integrated environment. The integration methodologies used by ACME are control integration, data integration, and tool integration. This paper describes the components and conceptual design of ACME and the effect that ACME has on the operation of Scrutiny. It also describes the lessons learned during this project. These lessons are categorized into those concerned with concept validation, integration issues, system design issues, software agent integration, and implementation and testing issues.
