Database Support for Software Engineering

Overview

Details the facilities required within an Integrated Project Support Environment (IPSE) for storing, controlling, and manipulating software engineering data. This book not only examines the problems of using traditional database technology as the foundation for an IPSE, but also suggests changes to current database architectures to accommodate software engineering applications. It traces the history of software development support, emphasizing IPSE technology, and looks at a number of IPSE systems in detail. In addition, the book describes key problems that are likely to have significant research possibilities in the application of database support. There is also discussion of other design applications such as Very Large Scale Integration circuit design, mechanical design, and other activities related to Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Engineering.
