Software engineers frequently face the challenge of systems whose requirements change over time to adapt to organizational reconfigurations or external pressures. Evolving user requirements present a considerable software engineering challenge, all the more so in an environment in which business agility demands shorter development times and responsive prototyping. This paper presents a system called CRISTAL which was developed at CERN in Geneva. CRISTAL is based on the concept of so-called ’description-driven’ change management that enables system development which is responsive to changes in user requirements and facilitates dynamic system reconfiguration as required.
