Abstract

Computer-Aided Software Engineering environments are becoming essential for complex software projects, just as CAD systems have become essential for complex hardware projects. DSEE, the DOMAIN Software Engineering Environment, is a distributed, production quality, software development environment that runs on Apollo workstations. DSEE provides source code control, configuration management, release control, advice management, task management, and user-defined dependency tracking with automatic notification. DSEE incorporates some of the best ideas from existing systems. This paper describes DSEE, contrasts it other systems, and discusses some of the technical issues involved in the construction of a highly-reliable, safe, efficient, and distributed development environment.
