Description: This report introduces the basic approach taken in designing the design management and job      assignment system (DMJAS) for CAPS93. This approach uses a model of software evolution      (8) which defines how a software change, once has been approved, will be applied to the      software release (version) to produce another version of the software incorporating this      change. This process is called an evolution step. The proposed system represents a      management layer between the user interface (supporting two user classes, managers and      designers) and the design database. The DMJAS controls the software evolution process in an      incrementally evolving software system where The job steps to be scheduled are only partially      known: time required, the set of sub-tasks for each step, and the input/output constraints      between steps are all uncertain, and are all subject to change as steps are carried out. Models      of design database and manager/designer interface are explained followed by the proposed      system....
