Summary
This paper presents a generic framework to schedule business models synchronisation. Previous works about collaborative environment focus on the development of a model shared by every designer through an Internet like connection. By increasing the shared model topics, these works tend to a complete integrated PLM models. However, current practise still involves a huge set of heterogeneous tools.
Every design expert uses his own business modeller and analysis tool. Moreover, he defines product evolutions on asynchronous mode. Assuming that a common model is shared by every designers, experts results must be synchronised before to change the common model to preserve a global agreement. This paper describes various options for the synchronization process and proposes a generic framework providing every synchronisation schemes. The main ideas are: 1). to anticipate the change notification towards interested designers without changing the shared model and 2). to assist the selection of the right time when designer results must be synchronised.
