Abstract

In current change management tools, the actual changes occur outside the tool. In contrast, Infuse concentrates on the actual change process and provides facilities for both managing and coordinating source changes. Infuse provides facilities for automatically structuring the cooperation among programmers, propagating changes, and determining the consistency of changes, and provides a basis for negotiating the resolution of conflicting changes and for iterating over a set of changes.
