A DESIGN RATIONALE BASED ENVIRONMENT FOR COOPERATIVE MAINTENANCE
Gerardo Canfora, Gerardo Casazza, Andrea De Lucia · International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering · 2000
This paper describes Cooperative Maintenance Conceptual Model ( CM 2 ), a conceptual model aimed at supporting software maintenance in a collaborative fashion. The main goal of CM 2 is to support the software maintenance process through the acquisition, structuring and distribution of the information concerned with the maintenance process itself. Information is structured as a network of linked comments and concerns both the analysis and design activities (Rationale in the Large) and the implementation of a change (Rationale in the Small). We also present COMANCHE (COoperative MAintenance Network Centered Hypertextual Enviroment), an enviroment which reflects the CM 2 ideas and principles.
