The phenomenon of global software development has changed the traditional methods of software engineering. Along with several benefits, globalization brings lot of challenges for practitioners of global software development. Among all challenges, establishment of a configuration management system for distributed teams is one of the major technical challenges. Therefore, in this study, it has be...

Software configuration management (SCM) is a key element of the software development process. A number of new configuration management techniques in commercial SCM tools and environments with SCM capabilities have been observed. This report illustrates some of the advances in SCM concepts by example of a particular commercial system: the Sun Network Software Environment (NSE). NSE embodies a tr...

This paper describes an environment for interactive configuration management. Configurations specify the composition and interconnecting bindings of components that make up distributed systems. Our environment is integrated with the Darwin configuration language and represents a running configuration in an interactive management environment. Once a configuration has been created, it can be moni...

Software Product Line has proved to be an effective approach to benefit from software reuse. Configuration management, an integral part of any software development activity, takes on a special significance in software product line context. This is due to the special property of software product line, in which the core assets are shared by all products. In this paper, we compare the existing con...

System engineering is one of the most powerful tools for comprehensive project management and control. This tool emphasized the life cycle of the projects, manages every single activity and helps manage the main elements of the project through a set of management and engineering processes. The goal of the current study is to use a system engineering approach in design phase in order or to meet ...

One ideal of configuration management is to specify only desired behavior in a high-level language, while an automatic configuration management system assures that behavior on an ongoing basis. We call a self-managing subsystem of this kind a closure. To better understand the nature of closures, we implemented an HTTP service closure on top of an Apache web server. While the procedure for build...

Software configuration 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 configuration management. In this paper, we present an overview of our approach to software engineeri...

In an ever more globalized world, there are many advantages from doing distributed development. However, geographically distributed development is generally recognized as being much more challenging than traditional co-located development and therefore companies are often hesitant to “go distributed”. Configuration management is a basic service that provides the infrastructure for projects and ...

Network Management Systems have played a great important role in information systems. Management is very important and essential in any fields. There are many managements such as configuration management, fault management, performance management, security management, accounting management and etc. Among them, configuration, fault and security management is more important than others. Because th...
