Abstract

Collaborative document processing has been addressed by many approaches so far, most of which focus on document versioning and collaborative editing. We address this issue from a different angle and describe the concept and architecture of a pervasive document editing and managing system. It exploits database techniques and real-time updating for sophisticated collaboration scenarios on multiple devices. Each user is always served with up-to-date documents and can organize his work based on document meta data. For this, we present our conceptual architecture for such a system and discuss it with an example.
