Dora: a structure-oriented environment generator

Support for constructing environments with multiple views

“…Several have been integrated together to produce multi-notational ISDEs such as OOEER [10], which keeps OOA/D and EER views fully consistent, and NIAMER [22], which keeps ER and NIAM views fully consistent. MViews ISDEs are more flexible than those of generator approaches [18,20], and MViews has better abstractions for building multi-view editing systems than other framework approaches [5,16,19].…”

Utilising past event histories in a process-centred software engineering environment

“…Most CASE tools, such as Software thru Pictures [30], and Integrated Software Development Environments, such as Dora [24], FIELD [25], and SPE [10], do not support the idea of codifying or determining work contexts for software development. This means that while they support the processes of doing work on a software project, they do not assist developers in the complex tasks of work coordination using multiple people, tools and processes.…”

Constructing multi-view editing environments using MViews

“…• Textual and graphical view support, as visual programming is typically useful for high-level detail while text is typically useful for low-level detail [9,11,13].…”
