Abstract
The problems concerning the maintenance and evolution of information systems (IS) are among the most complex ones. This paper presents a methodological framework that makes it possible, on the one hand, to describe the evolution problems of the data component of IS, and on the other hand, to suggest a series of strategies that model the designer behaviour facing those problems. It describes then the DB-MAIN CASE tool environment, with which a prototype of evolution tool has been built. This tool generates automatically the database conversion programs from the modifications history of the database logical schema.
