Abstract

During the software development several interrelated artifacts are created. Despite the common version control of artifacts by existing Software Configuration Management (SCM) tools, current mechanisms do not provide full support for reusing and changing propagation between artifacts. This occurs because they are focused mainly on source-codes and their compilations. Few efforts have been made in order to provide suitable versioning of artifacts in structured or semi-structured formats. This paper proposes a method named GALO, which seeks to provide an automated knowledge configuration management within Software Engineering projects. In order to validate the proposed method, we developed a case study, involving both the creation of composed artifacts and the traceability of changes between artifacts.
