TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS FOR MEHRAN UNIVERSITY VIRTUAL SOFTWARE INCUBATOR (MUVSI) PROJECT

Abstract

The Mehran University Virtual Software Incubator (MUVSI) project provides significant opportunities for teleworking and reduced software development overheads. However few tools exist to address the needs of a MUVSI to support multi-partner distributed software development. Such tools should support Distributed Software Configuration Management (SCM), process modelling and metrics. Certainly there is no unified approach for all these activities. The MUVSI project proposes the implementation of such an integrated prototype MUVSI. In this paper we describe the background to the MUVSI project and discuss some technologies, which may simplify the implementation of such a collaborative environment. The results of this project should make a significant contribution towards the implementation of successful MUVSI environments
