A Methodological Approach for Design of Collaborative Assistive Systems

Collaborative Assistive Systems (CAS) are a category of Computer Supported Collaborative Systems (CSCW) which objective is to provide collaborative, multi user, interactive, mobile, integrated applications which are working in smart environment using in the field communicating objects (senders and receivers). Design and Development of these systems need appropriated framework and elaboration processes. We present this framework with specification model and language, generic architecture and associated development approaches related to concrete situation in respect of particular behaviors. Elaborated specifications are projected to generic software architecture. This framework speeds-up implementation of specialized CAS. A case study shows the use of this approach.
