A comprehensive survey of 35 commercial CASE tools is given in
"Ovum evaluates: CASE products". It is from 1993 and is continuously updated.
It has all the information you asked for. The bad thing is that it is very
expensive ($1995 !!!). You should get a 40 % academic discount, however.
Moreover, recently they had a "quick-answer discount" making the full price
(before academic discount) $1295. Anyway, I believe it is good investment if you
quickly want to have comprehensive information about the current CASE market.
Particularly valuable is the comparative evaluation of the 35 products.

Abstract
The Workshop on the Next Generation of CASE Tools (NGCT) is an
annual event, bringing together leading researchers on Computer
Aided Software Engineering (CASE). NGCT workshop is a pre-conference
workshop of the annual Conference on Advanced Information Systems
Engineering (CAiSE). The goal of this year's workshop, held in
Paris, is to conduct an in-depth discussion of research approaches
in the area of Computer Aided Software Engineering. Three main
themes have been identified:
* CASE architectures
* Development process support
* Advanced requirements engineering
The workshop committee accepted fourteen papers, which are grouped
in the proceedings according to these three themes. Among the topics
of the papers are: multiparadigm specification for interoperable
information systems, capturing design decisions, automated user
interface derivation, deductive repositories, human error analysis,
and business modeling.

>1 Alcool-90 (dyn ML)
What: Alcool-90 Release 0.40.3
From: rouaix@inria.fr (Francois Rouaix)
Date: 18 May 92 09:36:22 GMT
Alcool-90 is an experimental extension of ML with run-time overloading and
a type-based notion of modules, functors and inheritance.
New constructs have been added:
* Overloaded symbols (overload).
* Local definition of abstract values (overload in).
* Implementations and parametric functors (pack to).
* Extension functors (overload with).
* Class-based Dynamics (dynamic).
This version of Alcool is based on the CAML Light implementation (release
0.4) of the ML language, but this release is autonomous.
Alcool-90 is available by anonymous FTP from ftp.inria.fr:
host: ftp.inria.fr (128.93.1.26)
directory: lang/alcool

README Copyright information.

>2 Arjuna (Distr Prog System)
What: Release 2 of Arjuna Distributed Programming System
From: arjuna@newcastle.ac.uk (Arjuna Project)
Date: Mon, 17 May 1993 12:37:34 GMT
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new version
of Arjuna: a programming system for reliable distributed computing,
and the Arjuna mailing list.
The software and the manual for the Arjuna system can be
obtained by anonymous ftp: arjuna.ncl.ac.uk (128.240.150.1)
Arjuna System
This beta release of ArjunaPR2.0 fixes all known bugs present
in ArjunaPR1.2B that have been reported to us or that we have found,
and contains only minimal information about how to use the new features
provided. This release should be compilable with the following
compilers:
AT&T Cfront Release 2.1, on SunOS 4.1.x,
(using Sun supplied lex and yacc).
AT&T Cfront Release 3.0.1, on SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.1,
(using Sun supplied lex and yacc).
GCC versions 2.1, 2.2.2, on SunOS 4.1.x,
(using flex(v2.3.x) and bison).
Patched GCC version 2.3.3 on SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.1,
(using flex(v2.3.x) and bison).
Sun C++ 2.1, on SunOs 4.1.x,
(using Sun's lex++ and yacc++).
HP C++ (B2402 A.02.34), HP-UX 8.07,
(using HP supplied lex and yacc or lex++ and yacc++).
The major new features are:
- Faster object store.
- Support for replicated objects.
- Memory resident object store.
- Support for ANSAware (not available via ftp)
Arjuna supports nested atomic actions (atomic transactions) for
controlling operations on objects (instances of C++ classes), which can
potentially be persistent. Arjuna has been implemented in C++ to run on
stock platforms (Unix on SUNs, HPs etc). The software available
includes a C++ stub generator which hides much of the details of
client-server based programming, plus a system programmer's manual
containing details of how to install Arjuna and use it to build
fault-tolerant distributed applications. The software and the manual
can be obtained by anonymous ftp: arjuna.ncl.ac.uk (128.240.150.1)
Several enhancements and ports on various distributed
computing platforms are in progress. We would be pleased to hear from
researchers and teachers interested in using Arjuna. The programmer's
manual contains the e-mail addresses for sending your comments and
problem reports.

Arjuna Mailing List
To enable us to help people using Arjuna, an electronic mail list has
been setup. You can join the Arjuna mailing list by sending an e-mail
message to "mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk" containing:
join arjuna <Your Name>
For example : join arjuna John Smith
Mail messages can then be sent to "arjuna@mailbase.ac.uk", for
distribution.
