Abstract Process Centered Environments (PCEs) are the most recent generation of
environments supporting the software engineering process. They aim to drive and assist …

In the framework of GOODSTEP, rules have been introduced as a means to support the
implementation of next generation of Software Development Environments (SDE), mainly …

This paper discusses schema evolution in software engineering databases. After a study of
existing approaches, we show that these approaches do not satisfy software engineering …

Recent works on software process evolution [Belkhatir 92, Bandinelli 93, Jaccheri 93, Kaiser
93, Kaba 94] focus on the evolution of process model. But evolution of the process itself …

The main points of our position and approach are that (1) the high-level object-oriented
specification of a software process based on well-known design methods like OMT is highly …

This paper discusses the evolution of “programming in the large” environments and presents
major innovations in software product structuring, configuration management, and software …

In our previous papers, we have reported on our use of event-condition-action formalism for
modeling the software processes, and the Adele trigger mechanism for controlling …

We will show in this article how Tempo, a processcentered software engineering
environment (SEE), assists in cooperative work by means of an approach based on a …

Development and maintenance of large software involves teams where each person has
specific responsibilities and capacities in the software process. Software engineering …

In this MS thesis we first describe the main concepts that underly" state of the art" software
development environments. Then we give an in-depth study of a specific software …
