Abstract
In this paper, we consider describing software development environments (SDEs) using a computational model OOAG (Object Oriented Attribute Grammar) [Shi89] [SK90], which incorporates functions for managing changes and maintaining consistency. In SDEs, the change managenent and consistency maintenance are key issues and OOAG is suitable for describing them. Software objects in SDEs have many derived values, and software objects and their derived values have complex relations with each other. Careless human activities often cause inconsistencies among software objects and it usually costs a lot to recover them. OOAG provides declarative descriptions to re-compute automatically derived values based on change propagation and to check relations among software objects, which help recovering activities of programmers.
