Software configuration management is concerned primarily with the consistent labelling and tracking of project information and managing change to that information [l]. Its objective is to try and control the changes that are made to the software in such a way as to preserve the integrity of the system and provide a basis on which to measure quality, both of the system and the development process. Initially, software configuration management systems were aimed at the results of the software life-cycle itself ( i.e. software components ) without trying to manage other outputs from the various stages in the process. Systems such as Make [2] and SCCS [3] are indicative of such an approach. However recent research has recognised that software configuration management should be applied throughout the software process. Therefore information such as design diagrams, requirements documents, test data, etc, as well as code, should be under the control of the configuration management system. System modelling lies at the heart of software configuration management. The system model captures the state of the system, identifies the parts making up the system and specifies how to put these components together. To provide features such as the identification of baselines, the system model must capture the process by which the system is constructed, the identifiable pieces of information which emerge during the development process and their relationships. There are many dimensions to system modelling identified in [4].

The display of a directed graph is a commonly used visual aid for representing relationships. However, some graphs contain so many edges that their display by traditional graph layout algorithms is virtually impossible because of the overwhelming number of crossings. Graphs representing large software systems and their configurations are particularly prone to this problem. Examples of such graphs include: graphs depicting a system's configuration, call graphs, graphs depicting import and export relationships between modules, and graphs depicting the “includes” relation among a system's source files. This paper proposes the elimination of some edges by replacing sets of edges that have the same set of source and target nodes by a special node called an edge concentration node. Reducing the number of edges often has the desirable side effect of reducing the number of crossings. An algorithm that determines a reasonable set of edge concentrations of a graph in &Ogr;(n4) operations for each level in the graph is presented where n is the number of nodes in that level. Several examples from the area of software configuration management are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of using edge concentrations.

This paper discusses the organization of software objects in an integrated environment from the software configuration management view. We will emphasize organization by evolution, by membership and by composition. The paper introduces program base objects which are version controlled in order to maintain the evolution of software objects. Different specializations of such objects make it possible to maintain source objects and to support organization of software objects by membership and by composition in a uniform way.

The MONSYS (MONtage SYStem) method and tool has been developed by the SIEMENS Systems Development . Division with the objective to increase the efficiency and quality of the integration process for the BS2000 System Software. Presently MONSYS is used to integrate new BS2000 versions. This paper does not detail all the MONSYS features. It focuses on the management of the object code level. The derivation of a software configuration is detailed with emphasis on the derivation environment concept, the use of the MONSYS Data Base, and feed back from that industrial experience.

One result of the last SVCC Conference held in Grassau, Jan. ‘88 has been the claim of the automation of the configuration process to guarantee an adequate state of consistency for specified software systems [7]. This paper introduces a model of handling Programming-Variations-inthe-Small (PVITS, see [8]) on the basis of program fragments. An abstract syntax of the language to describe variant configurations is automatically derived from the fragment dependency relation. We generate an interactive user interface to support menu-driven conflrguration programming. Semantic consistency of arbitrarily incomplete configurations is guaranteed by an inference-rule based analysis. Changes to the project structure are handled by grammar morphism to incrementally generate a new configuration editor.
