Low Bandwidth Operation in a Multi-user Software Development Environment

Software Development Environments have traditionally relied upon a central project database and le repository, accessible to a programmer's workstation via a high speed local area network. The tele-commuting paradigm has demonstrated the need for a new model, which allows for variable bandwidth machines to assist programmers in their development. A new client-server model is introduced which minimizes network traac when bandwidth is limited. This research enables programmers to continue working within the framework of a Software Development Environment, without continuous high speed network access.
