Abstract

A framework for globally distributed software development and management environments, which we call Booster is presented. Additionally, the first experiences with WebMake, an application developed to serve as an experimental platform for a software development environment based on the World Wide Web and the Booster framework is introduced. Booster encompasses the basic building blocks and mechanisms necessary to support a truly cooperative distributed software development from the very beginning to the last steps in a software life cycle. It is thus a precursor of the Global Software Highway, in which providers and users can meet for the development, management, exchange and usage of all kind of software.
