Abstract :
The author discusses software-engineering hypertext environments (SEHE), which offer a viable information management medium for organizing, structuring, retrieving, and processing the complex networks of software object descriptions that arise within large software engineering projects. SEHE represent the merger of hypertext systems with an ensemble of software engineering tools, techniques, and strategies. An organizational knowledge-based SEHE codifies and configures a software application´s domain agents, objects, attributes, relations, constraints, tasks/processes, transaction event rules, mechanisms, and resources into the information structures that are woven together to form a software hypertext. Accordingly, the author describes briefly how such a knowledge-based SEHE can be utilized in a large development project.<>
