Software evolution is an essential concept underlying the engineering of corporate portals. Due to the complexity of such systems, it requires great effort and is not advisable to design and implement a feature-complete corporate solution. The concept of evolutionary portal development helps portal engineers to cope with design complexity. While the technical perspective on component based soft...

This paper proposes a model of strategic evolution as a sequence of intentional recombinations of the company’s Core Micro-strategy with new resources and organisational routines. A Core Micro-strategy is hereby defined as the established system of interconnected routines, micro-activities and resources that can be traced in most of the company’s successful strategic initiatives. The paper is b...

Relationships have been repeatedly identi ed as an important object-oriented modeling construct. Today most emerging modeling standards such as the ODMG object model and UML have some support for relationships. However while dealing with schema evolution, OODB systems have largely ignored the existence of relationships. We are the rst to propose comprehensive support for relationship evolution....

the administrative, productive and many other company experienced exceeding evolution in management area. conducting quality management system according to iso 9000: 2000 on of these evolution process. thus in this paper tries to describe quality management paradigm from theoretic, structural an conceptual aspect then evaluated the relation between execution of quality management system and fin...

As complex software and systems development projects need models as an important planning, structuring and development technique, models now face issues resolved for software earlier: models need to be versioned, differences captured, syntactic and semantic correctness checked as early as possible, documented, presented in easily accessible forms, etc. Quality management needs to be established...

The complexity of modern software systems and the global competition make the adoption of model-based techniques unavoidable. A higher level of abstraction not only allows to mitigate the intricacy of the development, e.g., through separation of concerns, but it is also expected to permit shorter round-trip cycles to add new system functionalities, fix bugs, and refine existing features. This p...

Software Configuration Management systems are important instruments for supporting development of large software projects. They accumulate large amounts of evolution data that can be used for process accounting and auditing. We study how visualization can help developers and managers to get insight in this unstructured history information. To this end, we propose several new techniques for visu...
