Abstract :
Argues that the graph-based hypernode model is a good tool for supporting software design methodology modelling in a software design meta-CASE tool. The unique features of the hypernode model that make it particularly suitable for this task are a nested, graph-based structure, support for meta-data modelling and a high-level procedural query-and-update language. These features make it possible for the hypernode model to support the definition of both methodological structures and processes and run-time modification of methodological support in a meta-CASE tool. We demonstrate these features in a prototype meta-CASE tool called CASEMaker
