Abstract

Change occurs throughout the software lifecycle. Software Configuration Management tools and techniques provide the foundation to effectively control change. With a growing number of approaches combining models from different domains into one unified, integrated model, (15, 12), there is also an emerging demand for SCM techniques and methods that are able to support these unified models. Traditional SCM systems operating on the abstraction of a filesystem and managing change at the granularity of textual lines are not adequate for these requirements. We propose a novel approach to SCM for unified models combining product versioning, operation-based deltas and change packages. To demonstrate feasibility we have implemented our approach in Sysiphus a suite of tools for collaborating over Software Engineering artifacts represented in a unified model.
