Conflict Solution in Multi-client Collaborative Feature Modeling System

Based on feature operation analysis in a collaborative environment, a method has been proposed to solve the conflicts between collaborative designers by defining a process for non-locked multi-client collaborative design and adjusting the feature modeling operation dynamically. The inflexibility of conventional token-passing method is overcome by the solution. A prototype system has been implemented to test the method, and the test results show that our system is flexible and efficient.
