Collaborative work on distributed models

Abstract

The collaborative work on distributed models is a big challenge in the robotic industry. To fragment the system into smaller components ease the software development because every agent can be specialized in a specific part, but the collaborative work of the different agents in the complete system present challenges such as to ensure consistency. A technology that provides support to establish remote repositories and the functionalities to work with them ensuring consistency and security is needed. The first goal of this thesis is to analyze the main challenges that occur in this kind of system. The next goal then is to choose which of the main tools that allow to work on remote repositories can cover these necessities and to show what approach can be followed to cover the different features with the chosen technology. In the end, the previous analysis is discussed to show which level of completion is reached.
