Implementation Concept of a Versioning Approach for Civil Engineering Process Models

摘要

Civil engineering processes are characterized by the specific peculiarity that they need to be designed individually for each project. A modelling technique has been developed at TU Berlin that is suitable to support the design of these processes. In this approach, the process is regarded as a result of a computation which requires specific user input. Project independent and project dependent information is necessary as user input. Thus, objects from different sources specified by different users form a model. Models which have been specified by different users need to be merged. Effects of subsequent modifications need to be determined. This collaborative mode of working requires a specific versioning. In this paper an implementation concept of a versioning approach is presented supporting collaboration in civil engineering process modelling. The versioning approach is based on objects administrated in sets.
