Abstract:
A software revision control system stores and manages successive, revised versions of applications, so that every design stage can be easily backtracked. In an industrial context, revision control concerns the evolution of software installed on complex systems and plants, where the need for revision is likely to arise from many different and correlated factors. In this paper, starting from the wide bibliography available on the subject, some typical schemes are discussed for representing such factors. An LDAP-based architecture is addressed for modelling and storing their evolution.
