CADDY: a highly integrated environment to support conceptual database design

The authors describe the development of the computer-aided software engineering (CASE) environment CADDY (computer-aided design of nontraditional databases), which offers an integrated set of tools for specifying, analyzing, and prototyping a database application on a conceptual level. The development process consisted of a sequence of development steps, where each step corresponded to one of five main tasks. These five tasks are described. Remaining questions about the CADDY environment are discussed.<
