(programming)A framework for distributed and concurrentsoftware engineering which provides an alternative approach totraditional centralised software development environments.

Decentralised process models are used to drive consistencychecking and conflict resolution. The process models usepattern matching on local development histories to determinethe particular state of the development process, and employrules to trigger situation-dependent assistance to the user.Communication between such process models facilitates thedecentralised management of explicitly defined consistencyconstraints.
