Abstract

Software Configuration Management (SCM) is becoming well known in certain sectors of the community (e.g., in Large Scale Data Processing for the U.S. Government) but remains virtually unknown elsewhere. The need for aids to the large scale information systems development process is very well known and documented. This paper deals with SCM as one of the tools for better systems development. It shows an integration of some previous tools into a system that could be implemented on a database management system (DBMS) as an extension to the data dictionary directory (DDD). An architecture for such an SCM system is suggested.
