Abstract
After more than 20 years of research and practice in software configuration management (SCM), constructing consistent configurations of versioned software products still remains a challenge. This article focuses on the version models underlying both commercial systems and research prototypes. It provides an overview and classification of different versioning paradigms and defines and relates fundamental concepts such as revisions, variants, configurations, and changes. In particular, we focus on intensional versioning, that is, construction of versions based on configuration rules. Finally, we provide an overview of systems that have had significant impact on the development of the SCM discipline and classify them according to a detailed taxonomy.

A Configuration Mechanism for Versioned Documents
SCCC '99: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science SocietyThis paper presents an approach to configuration definition based on attributes of structured documents. The application of this mechanism is the GDOC (acronym for Document Management, in Portuguese)system, which implements an innovative data model for ...
A version model for supporting adaptation of web pages
WIDM '04: Proceedings of the 6th annual ACM international workshop on Web information and data managementMaintenance of large Web sites is a complex task, similar in some sense to software maintenance. Content should be separated from the formatting rules, allowing independent development and maintenance of both parts. As in software maintenance, version ...
