Software engineers confront many challenges during software development. One challenge is managing the relationships
that exist between software artifacts. We refer to this task as information
integration, since establishing a relationship between documents typically implies that an engineer must
integrate information from each of the documents to perform a development
task. This integration is hindered because software artifacts are created with a multitude of tools and are stored in a
variety of data formats, and none (or few) of these tools were designed to interoperate or make it easy to share information.
We are developing an information integration environment, InfiniTe, to aid software developers in performing complex
information management tasks. In particular, we focus on supporting those tasks which involve creating, finding,
maintaining, and evolving the relationships (both implicit and explicit) between software artifacts.
