As the impetus to extend computer and communications as far possible into the battlefield continues to grow, con.guration management of these computer and communication networks becomes a challenging task. The challenges stem mainly from the volatile connectivity (due to network element failures) and sporadic mobility (due to the dynamics of the battlefield theatre). Thispaperproposes a self-co...

Many software projects use Software Configuration Management systems to support their development process. Such systems accumulate in time large amounts of information useful for process accounting and auditing. We study how software developers can get insight in this information in order to understand the project context and the product artifacts. To this end, we propose several new techniques...

The generation of system configuration files and other documents directly from a database has proven to be a very powerful technique. However, there were some limitations to this approach. With the introduction of Oracle 8i, and more specifically, the addition of support for XML, we have been able to eliminate many of these limitations and take the file generation and maintenance to a new level.

Software Configuration Management addresses roughly two areas, the first and older one concerns the storage of the entities produced during the software project; the second one concerns the control of the activities performed for the production / change of these entities. Work space support can be seen as subsuming most of the later dimension. Indeed, work space is the place where activities ta...

Parallel development has become standard practice in software development and maintenance. Though most every revision control and configuration management system provides some form of merging for combining changes made in parallel, these mechanisms often yield unsatisfactory results. The authors present a new merging algorithm, that uses a fast differencing algorithm and renaming analysis to pr...

This paper describes an ultra high performance OpenSource Software Configuration Management (SCM) system for Cadence DFII 4.4 based on the Perforce Fast SCM System.

the maxillary first premolar may present large number of anatomic variations. the clinician should be aware of the configuration of the pulp system. maxillary first premolars usually have two canals. the incidence of three canals in these teeth is quite rare. this case report presents the diagnosis and clinical management of a maxillary first premolar with two distinct canals in the apical thir...
