Towards an Integrated Development Environment

Problems of application-system cost, control, and effectiveness can best be addressed by highly consistent development and execution environments. This paper examines some relevant new approaches (systems description languages, new data models, application generators, and very-high-level languages), discusses the need for additional integration, and outlines a particular integration direction. This direction is intended to illustrate both the kind of consolidation needed and some of the problems involved.
