Global Names: Support for Managing Software in a World of Virtual Organizations

Overview Emerging technologies such as the Internet, the World Wide Web, Java TM technology, and software components are accelerating product life cycles and encouraging collaboration across organizational boundaries. Designing configuration management systems that scale well over both dimensions requires difficult trade-offs between reliability and flexibility. At the heart of these trade-offs is the aggregate information shared by collaborators: how it is represented, maintained, and understood by the people and tools using it. While designing a prototype development environment intended to scale in both dimensions, we have revisited the role played by naming. A proposed extension to the prototype’s naming system addresses issues such as which objects should be named and how the shared naming system is constructed.
