Abstract

Software configuration management (SCM) is the discipline of controlling the evolution of complex software systems. The author surveys the Konfiguration Management System (KMS), a tool that supports the tasks of SCM from the early inception of the software system to the end of maintenance with emphasis on configuration control, program generation, and system delivery. A distinctive feature is the support to customers for adapting the system to their needs and for merging adapted systems to new releases of the original system. KMS has been used to develop software for such applications as CAD, banking, telecommunications, etc. Program generation is discussed along with delivery and maintenance
