Abstract :
The Virtual Software Corporation (VSC) represents an organisational structure addressing the needs of distributed software development. Research indicates that Software Configuration Management (SCM) is one of the most important challenges faced by VSCs, requiring support and continued improvement. The real influences of the VSC structure on the SCM process are, however, not fully known yet. The aim of this paper is to present an approach to make the SCM process more visible within the VSCs
