Abstract

Established CASE vendors face a number of major challenges in upgrading their product lines to support the development and maintenance of large-scale distributed, web-based applications. This paper describes the characteristics of future applications, examines the challenges they pose to established CASE vendors, and suggests activities within the software research community that can help to address these challenges. As a result, the main contributions of the paper include a vision of how CASE products will evolve as we enter the 21st Century, and an analysis of the problems that will need to be overcome by established CASE vendors to realize that vision
