VERSION MANAGEMENT FOR ROPCO - A MICROINCREMENTAL REUSE ENVIRONMENT

Version management is a pervasive issue in computer science. It is an important part of database theory, software engineering, distributed s ystems, etc. This paper focuses on version management for software bei ng developed in a software development environment or a software facto ry. The main objective of the paper is to present a new approach on ve rsion management Of reusable units of software by using modules/templa tes as the reusable units. This approach is adopted in the design of a software development environment called ROPCO. Reuse Of Persistent Co de and Object code is an integrated collection of techniques, tools, a nd structures to facilitate the reusability of persistent code and obj ect code.
