Abstract

The authors present an approach to manage evolutionary changes that take place over time in an object-oriented software metrics database schema. The framework is based on the entity-relation (E-R) model and uses a recursive graph structure, known as R-graph, to support the views of software quality and risk. The fundamental mechanism for abstracting views is the introduction of two semantic operators for the R-graph. These operators are proposed based on graph-based predicates and Petri-net based predicate formalism for view abstraction
