Abstract

Systems for version management have been in existence for some time, yet no system provides the complete range of services needed to control the versions and configurations of a complex design as it evolves over time. The authors have been developing a system, called a version server, to provide just these services. It supports an object -oriented model for organizing design data and provides operational mechanisms for controlling the design's evolution, such as object check-in/checkout and a validation subsystem.
