Abstract. We present ARCADE, a consistency and awareness model for Distributed Software Development. In ARCADE, updates to elements of the software project considered important to a programmer are sent to him promptly. As the importance of an element decreases, the frequency with which the programmer is notified about it also decreases. This way, the system provides a selective, continuous and focused level of awareness. As a result, the bandwidth required to propagate events is reduced and intrusion caused by unimportant notifications is minimized. In this paper we present the design of ARCADE, as well as an evaluation of its effectiveness.
