A simple configuration management system for CASE repository

Although there has been considerable progress in software engineering, there are few SCM (software configuration management) tools suited for CASE repository. The paper introduces RESCOMS (simple configuration management system for repository) which uses new version labeling notation and its administrative technique to support SCM of repository. Because data of repository has a dependent relationship, and the RESCOMS has great ability in representing this relationship, our tool is good for supporting SCM of repository and offers excellent results. We only consider CASE supporting SA/SD (structured analysis/structured design). If we are concerned about CASE supporting other methodologies such as object oriented methodology, the data dependency relationship will be redefined and redesigned. We hope that we can extend our work to other methodologies in the near future.
