Consistency Management in Software-Intensive Systems

Description

This special issue focuses on the challenges of managing consistency across diverse artifacts and components in software-intensive systems. As modern software systems become increasingly complex and distributed, maintaining consistency among heterogeneous models, code, documentation, and configurations becomes a critical concern for practitioners and researchers alike.

Potential topics

• Consistency management approaches and techniques for handling heterogeneous artifacts
• Version control and traceability in large-scale systems
• Conflict detection and resolution strategies
• Consistency checking and validation methods
• Multi-model consistency approaches
• Change propagation and impact analysis
• Tool support and automation for consistency management
• Application of consistency management in different software development paradigms
