Corporate integration through systems software
William Marshall McKeeman · 1976
A software development system is proposed. It is to be used by a manufacturer of a product that contains a minicomputer, and where the minicomputer may have to be programmed differently for each customer. The programming effort yields (1) software tools on a powerful central computer, (2) invariant code for the mini, and (3) mini code that can vary under customer demand. The emphasis is on managing the complexity of (3) as the number of product deliveries increases.
