Scientific projectThe Motu system allows a virtual team to
share
data supporting in the mean time awareness. It appears to be
a tool such as BSCW, TeamScope
or SourceForge. It includes an awareness
system within a shared data manager. The Motu system distinguish itself
with its richer awareness system as a sharper and a more active detection
of users activity, indeed users are informed live.
This work is done for the project « Environnement
& COOperation » (ECOO) of LORIA.
Motu system overviewThe Motu system must allow a virtual team
to share data supporting in the mean time awareness.
These features are today
enrolled in distributed configuration management tools like: ClearCase,
Continuus,
CVS
servers or sharper tools like electronic documents management.
Motu system current stateThe prototype contains more than 400 Java classes.
It manage multiversioned et shared file system. The file manager is tolerant
to breakdown and it also manages access right (ACL).An event system has
been built in the file manager to notify users about any past and current
occured changes. A presence manager has also been set in the prototype
as well as a few groupware tools as : instant messages, chat, Visio-conf...
A graphical interface allows the users' prototype
to work easily on the files and to be aware meanwhile about the others'
activity instantly.
