Reengineering of Distributed Collaborative ApplicationsBogdan VINTILĂUniversity of Economics, Romania Gothenburg University, Sweden vintila@chalmers.se Dragos PALAGHITĂ University of Economics, Romania Gothenburg University, Sweden drapal@chalmers.se The paper presents the collaborative environment. The particularities of the applications used within this environment are presented. The special requirements of the distributed collaborative applications are analyzed. A detailed description of the reengineering process is made. The workflow within the process is being followed from the start to the end. The causes that lead to the reengineering process are identified and measures of counterattack are built. The issues that must be considered in the reengineering process of the distributed collaborative applications are described. The main effects of the reengineering process of the collaborative applications are discussed. The costs of the reengineering process are estimated through a model of estimation. Future directions for the reengineering process of distributed collaborative applications are given. Keywords: collaborative, reengineering, distributed, applications, requirements, model, team |
