Abstract

Automated support for Conventional systems development, i.e. Structured systems development, in the form of CASE-tools is well-established. The emergence of new Object-oriented systems development methods and its supportive CASE-tools require the integration of the conventional and object-oriented paradigms, to enable system development in both paradigms. A structured approach for integration of conventional and object-oriented CASE tools is proposed. This approach, based on the CUBE approach, focuses on the creation of a technical link to integrate the repositories of heterogeneous workbenches.
