A Multi-versioning Algorithm for Intention Preservation in Distributed Real-time Group Editors

Intention preservation is an important aspect of consistency maintenance in real-time collaborative editing systems. The multi-version approach is able to preserve individual users’ concurrent conflicting intentions in a consistent way. Various multi-versioning schemes have been proposed. In this paper, a version composition algorithm is devised for a new multiversioning scheme that can preserve users’ contextual intentions .
