Abstract

In this paper, we propose a formal model and a platform for software change management. The model is based on graphs rewriting, and deals with both multi-language source codes and heterogeneous database schemas. These are represented by software components linked by meaningful relationships. The change impact analysis is done, using a knowledge-based system, that includes impact propagation rules preserving the software consistency. This is implemented by an integrated platform including a multilanguage parsing tool, and a soft-ware change management module
