- 4th International Workshop on
- Software Configuration Management
-
- 21-22 May 1993
- Baltimore, Maryland, USA
-
- The 4th SCM workshop will be held in May in association with
- the 15th International Conference on Software Engineering.
- There will be a session of longer papers on SCM toward the
- end ICSE 15 (May 17-21, 1993), which will then be followed
- by the SCM workshop. Previous SCM workshops were held in
- Grassau (Germany), Princeton (USA), and Trondheim (Norway).
-
- Software configuration management (SCM) supports the
- management and evolution of large software by assisting the
- change process (possibly carried out by multiple teams) and
- by controlling products ranging from code to documentation.
- Among other tasks, SCM involves management of versions,
- assembly of compatible configurations, team coordination,
- and organizing, building and releasing software.
- Configuration management is a fundamental mechanism for
- supporting most automated software processes, is central to
- all software environments, and requires significant system
- support. There are now major commercial SCM systems in
- addition to the important ones from research groups.
- Furthermore, configuration management is having an effect on
- and is taking advantage of progress in databases, object
- stores, operating systems, and human interfaces.
-
- The goal of this workshop is to bring together SCM experts
- and practitioners to discuss topics including:
- - novel and innovative approaches to SCM
- - complete SCM solutions
- - evaluations of and experiences with SCM systems
- - problems and progress in software databases
- - distributed computing, scalabliity, and usability issues
- - problems in applying SCM in industrial settings
- - SCM models and process modeling
- - SCM implementation issues (distributed, database,
- object-oriented, user interface technologies)
-
- The workshop will be an interactive forum with presentations
- of refereed papers, panel sessions, and discussion groups.
- Papers should emphasize what is new or unusual about the
- chosen approach, describe major results, their importance,
- and their relationship to other work in the field. Papers
- reporting on experiences with large scale application of SCM
- tools will be especially welcome.
-
- Attendance at the workshop will be limited. Prospective
- participants may submit full papers, position papers (2-3
- pages), or proposals for panels and discussion sessions.
- Participants will be selected on the basis of their
- submissions. Participants may also submit longer papers for
- possible inclusion and presentation at the ICSE
- configuration management session. Full papers must be
- original contributions, not accepted or submitted elsewhere.
- The conference language is English.
