Abstract
In this work, we propose a design approach which allows a large community of designers to collectively translate a set of requirement specifications into a complete design. Technically, emergence is a good way to build decentralized, fault-tolerant, scalable systems with acceptable overhead in network communication. This property makes the peer-to-peer paradigm a proper approach to build emergent systems. Hence, we have developed the COPPEER 2.0 framework, an environment for developing and running collaborative peer-to-peer applications which directly supports the main requirements elicited in our proposal.
