Towards a Model-Driven Product Line for SCM Systems
Published in Proceedings of the 13th International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2009), 2009
Abstract
Software configuration management (SCM) is the discipline of controlling the evolution of large and complex software systems. Many tools and systems for SCM have been developed which are based on a variety of different version models. Usually, the underlying version models have been hard-wired into the respective tool or system. In this paper we present MOD2-SCM, a PhD project which is dedicated to a model-driven approach to the development of SCM systems which makes the underlying version model explicit, reduces development effort by replacing coding with creating executable models, and supports reuse by providing a product line for SCM.
