Towards a Code Synchronization Mechanism Analysis and Design

This paper presents the first steps of an endeavor for defining and applying equalization among code artifacts. This equalization process is defined as code synchronization. First, meaning of the code synchronization has been explained, and also the constraints on the synchronization as a process have been analyzed. On the following, four major necessary abilities for realizing a code synchronization mechanism have been identified. Two of the four abilities that are identified as necessary for creation and application of the previously defined synchronization process have been discussed. Lastly conclusions from these discussions have been underlined.
