This book presents revised full versions of the best papers accepted for the SCM-4 and SCM-5 Workshops on Software Configuration Management, held in connection with the 1994 and 1995 IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE). The 22 papers included give a unique overview on and introduction to current software configuration management issues. SCM is the discipline of managing software evolution. It is concerned with controlling evolving software products and supporting teams and activities involved in the development of complex software systems. SCM attracts the attention of SE design and development professionals, of researchers, and of software managers.

Only information written down in the descrition can influence construction of the system. Nevertheless, the descriptions are concise and easy to read and write. The language evaluator caches the results of evaluating function applications, which are the expensive operations in the Vesta language. Caching in Vesta is automatic and persistent. Because the language is functional and there are no side-effects, cachingis conceptually straightforward. Vesta caches the result of all function applications -- from those at the leaves (e.g., compiling one source file), to those in the middle (e.g., packaging up a library), all the way to the top. Caching function applications at all levels permits Vesta to build and rebuild large software systems efficiently."

Abstract: "Conventional file systems are increasingly recognized as an unsuitable basis for software configuration management, especially for large systems. While ordinary file systems have many useful properties, their facilities for managing coordinated changes that span many files are weak. To address this problem, the Vesta configuration management system implements a file system extension that tailors the fileabstraction to the needs of large-scale software development. This paper begins by presenting the essential properties required in the storage facility that underlies a successful configuration management system. It then defines a file-system-like abstraction derived from thoseproperties and explains how it can be implemented on top of a conventional file system."

An invited collection of peer-reviewed papers surveying key areas of Roger Needham's distinguished research career at Cambridge University and Microsoft Research. From operating systems to distributed computing, many of the world's leading researchers provide insight into the latest concepts and theoretical insights--many of which are based upon Needham's pioneering research work. A critical collection of edited-survey research papers spanning the entire range of Roger Needham's distinguished scientific career, from operating systems to distributed computing and security. Many of the world's leading researchers survey their topics' latest developments and acknowledge the theoretical foundations of Needham's work. Introduction to book written by Rick Rashid, Director of Microsoft Research Worldwide.
