“…This is the first work the authors are aware of which attempts to marry virtual environment techniques with software development environments. A number of Software Development Environments (SDEs) have been created over the years in both research and industry (see [6], [7], [8], [9], [5] for example). These differ from our conceptual model in that they assume that all artifacts will be managed by the development environment itself (or through tools specially "wrapped" to be called from the environment).…”

“…Central to the Groupspace concept is the idea that project artifacts continue to exist in their original form in their original repositories. This differs from traditional Software Development Environments (SDEs) (like Oz [5], SMILE [6], Desert [7], Sun NSE [8], Microsoft Visual C++ [9]), as well as most traditional Groupware systems (like eRoom[10], TeamWave [11], and Orbit [12]) in which artifacts are under the strict control of the environment. In these systems, users are expected to access artifacts only through the development environment's cadre of tools or via COTS tools specially "wrapped" to work with the environment.…”

Abstract. We introduce CHIME, the Columbia Hypermedia IMmersion Environment, a metadata-based information environment, and describe its potential applications for internet and intranet-based distributed software development. CHIME derives many of its concepts from Multi-User Domains (MUDs), placing users in a semi-automatically generated 3D virtual world representing the software system. Users interact with project artifacts by "walking around" the virtual world, where they potentially encounter and collaborate with other users' avatars. CHIME aims to support large software development projects, in which team members are often geographically and temporally dispersed, through novel use of virtual environment technology. We describe the mechanisms through which CHIME worlds are populated with project artifacts, as well as our initial experiments with CHIME and our future goals for the system.

“…A fundamental problem is that di erent users working independently might c r e a t e t wo or more proposed updates that con ict with each other in some way. Some systems, such a s R CS, Smile (Kaiser and Feiler, 1987) or Infuse (Kaiser and Perry, 1987), provide mechanisms for the disciplined creation and modi cation of versions, so that con icts can be isolated and resolved before the base data is corrupted. However, the fundamental issue of e ciently identifying when a con ict has arisen is largely unexplored in the literature.…”

Towards a Framework for Efficient Management of Potentially Conflicting Database Updates

A new approach to identifying and managing potential con ict between long-duration, cooperative database updates is presented. A loose taxonomy o f m e c hanisms for identifying potential con ict is sketched, and a family of mechanisms based on the use of delta values' (in the sense of the Heraclitus paradigm) is described. The paper is quite preliminary and philosophical { while we present a position, we expect that a primary contribution of the paper is to stimulate discussion about this important area.

“…Our notion of an experimental database was initially introduced in Smile [11], a multiple-user programming environment for C developed as part of the Gandalf project [7] at Carnegie Mellon University. Infuse extends this notion to (1) a hierarchy, (2) automatic partitioning of the change set into EDBs, and (3) integration testing.…”

Infuse: fusing integration test management with change management

Infuse is an experimental software development environment focusing on change coordination during the maintenance/evolution phase of large scale software projects. Its core philosophy is to integrate strongly connected modules first and more weakly connected sets of modules later, moving up a hierarchy from singletons to clusters of interdependent modules and, finally, merging the change set into the baseline. We have previously described how Infuse enforces static consistency at each level of the hierarchy. We now extend our work to dynamic consistency -i.e., testing. Unit testing is done for the individual modules at the leaves of the hierarchy, integration testing for the intermediate clusters and acceptance testing at the root. Infuse supports this by partially automating the construction of test harnesses and regression test suites at each level of the hierarchy from components available from lower levels. Infuse is implemented for C, and is used to support its own evolution, but the implementation does not yet provide the test management described here.
