Software Connguration Management and Engineering Data Management: Diierences and Similarities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Engineering data management and software connguration management have been evolving fairly independently. On the other hand, it has been observed earlier that many parallels exist 10]. In this paper, we examine the similarities of and diierences between EDM and SCM. Many concepts are similar, but there are some diierences concerning the objects to be managed. As a consequence, some sophisticated features of modern SCM systems are not applicable in the EDM domain because they are based on assumptions which do not hold there (objects represented as text les, tools operating towards the le system). Some suggestions for further work on version models and on the architecture of version support systems are outlined.

Modelling Versioned Hypertext Documents ?
Versioning of hypertext documents is in many aspects very similar to versioning of software systems (and their components). In the paper we concentrate on an analysis of similarities and diierences between them with the intention of possibly nding in the area of software connguration management a starting point for a new method of version control in hypertext systems. Then, we have proposed a m...
متن کاملProviding Connguration Management Support in Software Engineering Environments Providing Connguration Management Support in Software Engineering Environments
Software connguration management (SCM or CM) is a key element of any software development project. A software engineering environment should not only provide support for software products and software processes in general, but also pay attention to high level software engineering concepts like connguration management. In this paper, we present an overview of our approach to software engineering...
متن کاملVersion Management for Tightly Integrated Software Engineering Environments
The paper introduces a version management model which exploits knowledge about the contents of documents. This is in contrast to most existing models which basically consider versioned objects as at (attributed) les. The beneets of the approach are illustrated by describing some sample operations which are not possible with a conventional model. The paper then discusses a feasible implementatio...
متن کاملUsing Programmed Graph Rewriting for the Formal Specification of a Configuration Management System
Due to increasing complexity of hardware and software systems , connguration management has been receiving more and more attention in nearly all engineering domains (e.g. electrical, mechanical, and software engineering). This observation has driven us to develop a con-guration management model (called CoMa) for managing systems of engineering design documents. The CoMa model integrates composi...
متن کاملApproach to Improving
Software connguration management (SCM) is one of the areas closely related to achieving and maintaining quality of software in a broader sense. Our approach to the problem of building a software system connguration is based on an assumption that explicit repesentation of important properties of software components can be utilized for both improving the process of building the connguration, and ...
