Each collaboration should be named according to the use-case•Different ways of creating “life-line” entity–Select from existing–Create new object–Unspecified (defined later by drag and drop)University of Southern CaliforniaCenter for Systems and Software EngineeringArchiving•Archiving the model to be transferred to different computers–Share among team members–Submission•Export as a RAS AssetUniversity of Southern CaliforniaCenter for Systems and Software EngineeringSteps1.
