Abstract
A heuristics-based concurrent edit detector ('ConE') can notify collaborators about potential conflicts that may be caused by edits made by other collaborators. ConE may compare concurrent edits submitted by collaborators, calculate the extent of overlap between two sets of edits, apply one or more filters to balance recall versus precision, and decide whether to alert the collaborators about candidate potential conflicts. ConE may be light-weight and easily scalable to work in a very large environment with numerous collaborators.
