Distributed Management System for Object-Oriented Software Components

As the world wide network is spreading, cooperative development in a distributed environment is getting common. We aim at building a support system for distributed cooperative development for object-oriented software. To support distributed cooperative development, it is necessary to solve issues such as: integrated management of distributed various kinds of software components, access control, version management, support for negotiation and support for comprehension. This paper focuses on integrated management of distributed various kinds of software components. We developed a prototype of a management system for object-oriented software components using distributed hypertext. This paper presents the design and implementation of the component management system
