Almost all, if not all, software development and maintenance activities require some abstract representations for target programs in order to grasp necessary information about the programs and ignore unnecessary information. This paper presents the role of unified program representations in distributed software development, basic considerations on constructing an integrated environment for supporting distributed software development based on unified program representation, and the design and implementation of an integrated environment we are developing.
