Configuration management (CM) is a software engineering discipline that centers on managing the evolution of the artifacts that are continuously produced and changed over the course of a software development project. The combined move towards developing software out of sets of components and managing software after it has been delivered to its customers radically changes the nature of CM, breaking several of its fundamental assumptions.Addressing these issues, the objective of this research is to develop and empirically evaluate the models, policies, and tools that will lay the foundation for the creation of the next generation of configuration management systems---those capable of managing, in a seamless and continuous fashion, component-based software throughout its life time. The research hypothesizes that architecture description languages are the key to providing this functionality: they create a single abstraction through which all CM functionality can be provided. Specifically, we propose to build architecture-based CM models, associated new development and deployment policies, and the supporting tools necessary for demonstration and evaluation.Parts of the research will be used to seed the educational aspects of the proposal: to establish the undergraduate research factory in which teams of undergraduate students will be educated in carrying out research projects.

配置管理（CM）是一门软件工程学科，它集中于管理在软件开发项目过程中不断产生和更改的工件的演变。 软件开发和软件管理的结合从根本上改变了CM的本质，打破了CM的一些基本假设。针对这些问题，本研究的目标是开发和实证评估CM的模型，政策，和工具，这些工具将为创建下一代配置管理系统奠定基础，这些系统能够以无缝和连续的方式，基于组件的软件在其整个生命周期中。 该研究假设架构描述语言是提供此功能的关键：它们创建一个单一的抽象，通过它可以提供所有的CM功能。 具体来说，我们建议建立基于架构的CM模型，相关的新的开发和部署政策，以及必要的演示和评估的支持工具。研究的一部分将被用来播种该提案的教育方面：建立本科生研究工厂，本科生团队将在开展研究项目的教育。
