Title
Supporting software maintenance evolution processes in the Adele system
Abstract
One of the major problems encountered when developing large systems is related to maintaining an operational and responsive software system, once it has been accepted and put into production. This problem is referred to as Software maintenance. Evolution is central to Software Maintenance, responsible for ensuring a longer working life. Many Software Engineering Environments (SEEs) have been constructed in order to support maintenance activities. In this paper, we will first present major development in SEEs to support Maintenance. Afterwards, we will describe the main ideas behind the design and implementation of the ADELE system, a third generation SEE. Following this, we will give an example to illustrate the way a process model can be described on top of ADELE using an example of evolution maintenance. This approach is heavily based on event-condition-action formalism. We will illustrate the way in which communication and coordination of the activities carried out by different users are automated.
