Abstract :
PVC-M is a process-oriented configuration management system which recognizes (i) loose coupling between data and process models and (ii) the diversity of requirements by software developers and design methodologies that they adopt. The data and process models in PVC-M may communicate: information and control can be passed back and forth between the two. The object-oriented paradigm seems to provide a framework that can facilitate a clean integration of data and process models. The author discusses XDL, PVC-M´s dynamically object-oriented process modeling language. XDL can be used to model several real-time, concurrent systems. The base language, SDL, supports nondeterminism.<>
