Abstract

We present Shadow, an environment for supporting the cooperative work of teams of software engineers engaged in geographically distributed software processes. Such an environment is designed and implemented over WWW middleware, and can be controlled by standard WWW browsers. Applications of this kind are complex and exciting examples of workflow systems. They need a suitable language to model the process and a suitable coordination architecture to build up the system. The Shade language, a coordination language based on the multiple tuple spaces coordination model, has been used as both process modeling language and as system design language.
