Abstract

In this paper, we propose an approach and a framework for an a priori change impact analysis of database schemas, in federated environment. The approach is based on a model, that describes program source codes and database schemas as software components linked by meaningfully relationships. This model takes into account the software components for both centralized and CORBA-based federated database applications. We deal with the federated issue, in accordance with the Object Database Management Group specifications. The change impact analysis is done, using a Knowledge Based System, that includes impact propagation rules, in a distributed way. This is achieved by proposing a framework, that implements our model, in order to simulate the evolution of CORBA-based federated database schemas.
