Abstract:

Active process support is being created to help human developers, including non-technical managers, coordinate their activities while integrating commercial project planning tools. Analysis and testing tools are being created to provide high assurance in software, through provision of prerun-time analysis, test case development, test result checking, and test process management tools. Powerful program analysis tools are being created which enable early detection of subtle coordination errors in concurrent systems composed of heterogeneous parts. Evolvable software architectures, first in the domain of user interface software, are being created to enable a more component-based software economy. World-Wide-Web WWW and hypermedia technology is being developed to foster easy information access, connections between software artifacts, and human understanding of complex systems. The UCIPurdue team developed these technologies and validated them through interaction with the aerospace community, military organizations, the commercial software world, and the open Internet community.
