         A framework for distributed and {concurrent}
        software engineering which provides an alternative approach to
        traditional centralised software development environments.
     
        Decentralised process models are used to drive consistency
        checking and conflict resolution.  The process models use
        pattern matching on local development histories to determine
        the particular state of the development process, and employ
        rules to trigger situation-dependent assistance to the user.
        Communication between such process models facilitates the
        decentralised management of explicitly defined consistency
        constraints.
