This project is to develop a model for cooperative work in multi-user rule-based development environments (RBDEs). RBDEs forma class of environments that assist developers in carrying out the development process. RBDEs are built on object management systems that abstract project components as objects, representing both product and process. They model the development process in terms of planning system-style rules that act on these objects. Each rule encapsulates an activity by specifying the condition that must be satisfied to initiate the activity and the effects of completing the activity. RBDEs maintain object base consistency and automatically carry out some development activities through forward and backward chaining among the rules. Most existing RBDEs are single-user; those that support multiple users isolate the users, preventing cooperation. The goal of this project is to scale up RBDEs to assist teams of developers cooperating on large-scale projects. This cooperation involves: (1) concurrency control; (2) multiple views; (3) evolution; and (4) distribution. These four problems will be solved in the context of the MARVEL RBDE. A single-user version of MARVEL has been completed, and licensed to 11 external sites. Scaling up MARVEL involves solving the four theoretical problems in addition to engineering the MARVEL architecture.

该项目是为基于多用户规则的开发环境（RBDES）中合作工作的模型开发模型。 RBDES形式的环境类别，可帮助开发人员执行开发过程。 RBDE建立在对象管理系统上，将项目组件作为对象抽象，代表产品和过程。 他们根据计划对这些对象作用的计划系统式规则来对开发过程进行建模。 每个规则通过指定必须满足的条件来启动活动和完成活动的效果来封装活动。 RBDE保持对象基础的一致性，并通过规则之间的前进和向后进行自动进行一些开发活动。 大多数现有的RBDE是单用户；那些支持多个用户隔离用户的人，阻止了合作。 该项目的目标是扩大RBDES，以协助开发人员合作进行大规模项目。 此合作涉及：（1）并发控制； （2）多个视图； （3）进化； （4）分布。 这四个问题将在Marvel RBDE的背景下解决。 Marvel的单用户版本已经完成，并获得了11个外部站点的许可。 扩大漫威涉及解决漫威体系结构之外解决这四个理论问题。
