CRDT-based Conflict Detection and Resolution for Massive-scale Real-time Collaborative CAD systems

With the popularity of big data and cloud computing, collaborative CAD(Co-CAD) systems face the task of massive-scale collaborative design, which brings new challenges in both academia and industry. Firstly, the key challenges for large-scale collaborative CAD design are analyzed. Then, a novel synchronous mechanism is proposed to deal with the key challenges. Some initial case studies demonstrate that the proposed synchronous mechanism is feasible for massive-scale collaborative design.
