Abstract
1 THEMES AND GOALS Automated tools play an important role in the promotion and adoption of software engineering methods and processes, both within a particular organisation and within the software engineering community generally. The development of these tools is itself a significant software engineering task, requiring a considerable investment of time and resources. There are a large number of different kinds of automated software engineering tool, variously known as Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE), Computer Aided Method Engineering (CAME), Integrated Project Support Environments (IPSE), Software Engineering Environments (SEE), and meta-CASE tools. Although these tools differ in the particular methods, activities, and phases of the software development cycle to which they are applied, constructors of these tools often face similar implementation issues. Decisions about host computing platform, implementation language, conformance with standards and reference models, choice of repository, integration and interoperability mechanisms, and user interface style have to be made. The different strategies adopted by tool constructors when solving these tool development problems is the theme of this symposium.
