Transaction-Oriented Configuration Management: A Case Study.

Abstract

The following statement of assurance is more than a statement reqluired to comply with the federal law This is a sincere statement by the universty to assure that all people are included in the diver'sity which makes Carnegie Mellon an exciting place Carnegie Mellon wishes to include people wilhoul regard to race, color, national origin seK.

A Reusable, Distributed Repository for Configuration Management Policy Programming

“…In fact, many commercial and research systems, such as CCC/Harvest [42], EPOS [33], JavaSafe [26], NSE [15], Sablime [4], ShapeTools [28], SourceSafe [30], TrueChange [43], and VOODOO [40], do not yet provide any real support for distribution. Those systems that do, appear to suffer from one or more of the following significant problems.…”

The Past, Present, and Future of Configuration Management

“…The SEI has evaluated and assessed CM capabilities of environments, such as Rational [27], ISTAR [19], and NSE [22]; tools, such as IDE's Software Through Pictures and Procase's SmartSystem; and CM systems, such as ADC [1] and CCC [8]. We have also experimented with various CM tools, which resulted in the definition of a spectrum of concepts that captures the functionality found in CM systems [12] and a categorization of CM systems for developers [15].…”

Issues and Techniques of CASE Integration With Configuration Management

“…GNU corresponds to a UNIX directory which becomes the NSE control point 15 for GNU environments. Within the GNU environment there are several components, 16 each corresponding to a GNU system, e.g., rcs and diff. The top-level environ- 14.…”

“…A control point defines the part of the UNIX file system that is controlled by an NSE transaction. 16. A component in NSE is an aggregate object.…”

“…An excellent description of the details of NSE transactions can be found in [33] and [16]; these details will not be repeated in this report.…”
