Lyon (Practical CM, Raven Publishing, 2003) has written a comprehensive guide for CM professional that includes pragmatic guidelines for implementing every aspect of a configuration management system (updated yearly). Hass (Configuration Management: Principles and Practice, Addison-Wesley, 2002) and Leon (A Guide to Software Configuration Management, Artech House, 2000) provides a useful survey of the subject. White and Clemm (Software Configuration Management Strategies and Rational ClearCase, Addison-Wesley, 2000)) presented SCM within the context of one of the more popular SCM tools.
Mikkelsen and Pherigo (Practical Software Configuration Management: The Latenight Developer's Handbook, Allyn & Bacon, 1997) and Compton and Callahan (Configuration Management for Software, VanNostrand-Reinhold, 1994) provide pragmatic tutorials on important SCM practices. Ben-Menachem (Software Configuration Management Guidebook, McGraw-Hill, 1994), and Ayer and Patrinnostro (Software Configuration Management, McGraw-Hill, 1992) present good overviews for those who need further introduction to the subject. Berlack (Software Configuration Management, Wiley, 1992) presents a useful survey of SCM concepts, emphasizing the importance of the repository and tools in the management of change. Babich (Software Configuration Management, Addison-Wesley, 1986) provides an abbreviated, yet effective, treatment of pragmatic issues in software configuration management. Arnold and Bohner (Software Change Impact Analysis, IEEE Computer Society Press, 1996) have edited an anthology that discusses how to analyze the impact of change within complex software-based systems.
Berczuk and Appleton (Software Configuration Management Patterns, Addison-Wesley, 2002) present a variety of useful patterns that assist in understanding SCM and implementing effective SCM systems. Brown, et al. (Anti-Patterns and Patterns in Software Configuration Management, Wiley, 1999) discuss the things not to do (anti-patterns) when implementing an SCM process and then consider their remedies.
Buckley (Implementing Configuration Management, IEEE Computer Society Press, 1993) considers configuration management approaches for all system elements—hardware, software, and firmware—with detailed discussions of major CM activities. Rawlings (SCM for Network Development Environments, McGraw-Hill, 1994) consider the impact of SCM for software development in a networked environment. Bays (Software Release Methodology, Pearson, 1999) presents a collection of best practices for all activities that occur after changes are made to an application.
As WebApps have become more dynamic, content management has become an essential topic for Web engineers.
