Abstract

Distributed engineering of complex software artifacts require collaboration of multiple independent stakeholders over extended periods of time. The independent decision changes, task executions, resource usages and other activities of the stakeholders may interact causing problems where mutual dependencies exist due to global activity ordering, resource sharing, product integrity, and other global constraints. Stakeholder coordination is required to ensure satisfaction of the global constraints. The paper presents an approach (WWAC) to the problem of stakeholder coordination for distributed design decision making that exploits an active meta-model arising out of stakeholder collaboration and captures abstractions of design decisions and their dependencies.
