Abstract
Collaborative editing is one of fundamental problems in distributed systems. It includes a consistent update on shared data. Many approaches for this issue have been proposed but most of them are for two-dimensional data such as documents, pictures, etc. In contrast, ChainVoxel has been developed as a conflict-free data structure for 3D models for providing a scalable collaborative editing for 3D models. Operations for voxels are defined on it. In this paper, we extend the notion of ChainVoxel which is based on conflict-free replicated data types for a practical collaborative editing system for three-dimensional space. We also evaluate the number of messages required for consistency.
