Manual pages for SAGA software tools, appendix H

Several pages from the SAGA UNIX programmer's manual are presented. These pages are for SAGA software tools

SAGA: A project to automate the management of software production systems

The SAGA system is a software environment that is designed to support most of the software development activities that occur in a software lifecycle. The system can be configured to support specific software development applications using given programming languages, tools, and methodologies. Meta-tools are provided to ease configuration. The SAGA system consists of a small number of software components that are adapted by the meta-tools into specific tools for use in the software development application. The modules are design so that the meta-tools can construct an environment which is both integrated and flexible. The SAGA project is documented in several papers which are presented

Gregor: A Model Object Base Supporting Software Configuration Management

180 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1997.Software Configuration Management (SCM) seeks to control the evolution of software systems. This dissertation presents an object base, Gregor, that incorporates SCM facilities into a data management facility for a software development environment. The object model that underlies Gregor uses classes to define different kinds of SCM entities, methods to define the operations applicable to the entities, and inheritance to denote generalization relationships between the classes. Gregor's object model is a more general and comprehensive model of SCM than has previously been presented, and its implementation shows how SCM may be more simply, automatically, and comprehensively supported. The dissertation presents the principal classes in Gregor, describes their intent, structure and functionality, and explains how they support SCM.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD

Campbell: An Object-Oriented Model of Software Configuration Management

Software configuration management (SCM) seeks to control the evolution of software systems. In this pa-per, we introduce a new object-oriented model of SCM that is based on the earlier research results of the SAGA project. The model is, we believe, more gen-eral and comprehensive than previous models and uses clasaes to define different kinds of SCM entities, meth-ods to define the operations applicable to the entities, and inheritance to denote generalization relationships between the classes. The paper presents the principal classes in the model, describes their structure and func-tionality, and explains their roles in the representation of SCM systems.
