Computer-aided software engineering standards and integration

Standardization is intended to overcome the last hurdle in the integration of computer aided software engineering (CASE) in an open system environment. Since there are numerous CASE and CASE related standard efforts currently under development on national and international levels, there is a wide spectrum of overlapping CASE standards research that must be identified and evaluated as to its specific present and future implications. Primarily the effects of CASE standards as they pertain to CASE vendors and users are discussed, along with the integration options of modern system development environments.<>
