Abstract
A large software project is usually developed by a group of people who may work for different companies and at different locations. Such a distributed development of software project needs support from both methods and CASE tools. In this paper, we suggest a software process based approach to support distributed group software development, and present a CASE tool called PCS that we developed to support the proposed method. PCS is based on Petri net process model, object-delegation role model and object-oriented repository model. All these models are discussed in the paper. In addition, a visual process language in PCS is also briefly introduced.
