项目摘要

This award provides support for a portion of the work of the Arcadia project. Arcadia is a major, joint research effort the aim of which is to gain fundamental understandings about desirable architectures for the integration of software tools into environments and particularly in support of software testing, analysis and evaluation. Arcadia is an experimental research project which aims to gain these understandings through the creation and experimental evaluation of an actual environment prototype--Arcadia-1. A key innovative feature of the approach being taken by Arcadia is to consider software processes to be items of software themselves and to view an environment as a mechanism for specifying, compiling and interpreting these processes, using software tools and software workers as interpretation primitives. Work at the University of Massachusetts on the Arcadia project will focus on two important aspects of software development environments, namely object management and analysis tools. The object management mechanisms will be a central feature of the Arcadia environment architecture. On the one hand, it will serve to organize and orchestrate the myriad pieces of a software project being created and maintained by users of an environment. In addition, it will constitute the primary structuring and integration mechanism for the environment itself, since all the tools and information structures comprised by an environment can and should be viewed as objects subject to management. Analysis tools and their integration are an important focus of Arcadia, both as a test case for the environment architecture's extensibility and integration capabilities and as a contribution to expanding the power and usefulness that environments offer to their users. This project will focus on two classes of analysis tools: software testing tools and tools for analyzing concurrent and distributed systems. Major experimental research efforts are needed to provide basic understandings of overall software development environments. The Arcadia project is a significant effort toward achieving those understandings.

该奖项为以下工作的一部分提供支持：阿卡迪亚项目阿卡迪亚是一个主要的，联合研究努力的目的是获得基本的理解关于软件集成的理想架构工具，特别是支持软件测试、分析和评估。阿卡迪亚是一个实验研究项目，旨在获得这些通过创造和实验来理解评估一个实际的环境原型-阿卡迪亚-1。采取的方法的一个关键创新特点是， Arcadia认为软件过程是将环境视为一种机制用于指定、编译和解释这些过程，使用软件工具和软件工作者作为解释原始人在马萨诸塞州大学从事阿卡迪亚项目我将重点介绍软件开发的两个重要方面环境，即对象管理和分析工具。对象管理机制将是阿卡迪亚环境架构。一方面是将有助于组织和协调无数的作品，由用户创建和维护的软件项目环境此外，它还将成为环境的结构和整合机制因为所有的工具和信息结构可以而且应该被视为受管理的对象。分析工具及其集成是一个重要的焦点阿卡迪亚，既作为环境的测试案例，体系结构的可扩展性和集成能力，作为一种贡献，扩大权力和有用性，环境提供给用户。该项目将重点关注两类分析工具：软件测试工具和用于分析并发和分布式系统的工具。需要进行重大的实验研究，对整体软件开发的基本理解环境. 阿卡迪亚项目是一项重大的努力，来达成这些理解。
