Enhancement of VSERC to Make I/UCRC Educational Material Available via the Internet and World Wide Web

摘要EEC-9705332 Mathur 软件工程产学研合作研究中心开发了虚拟软件工程研究中心（VSERC），它是一个基于Internet和WWW的虚拟企业的原型。 该项目维护并提高了VSERC的可访问性和可靠性，提供并提高了VSERC向其他中心转移的便利性，并为软件程序增加了新的教育功能。 为了加强VSERC，将增加一个教育部，允许通过互联网访问以下材料：1）交互组件，2）多媒体服务器访问设施，以及3）软件工程课程。 拟议的增强VSERC将允许教育工作者和学生通过一个单一的分层界面访问所有与SERC相关的教育和研究材料。 研究材料已经通过VSERC提供，并不断更新。 从1997年秋季开始，教材将开始输入目前正在SERC和Purdue计算机科学系建立的数据库。 这个数据库将包含课堂上的现场讲座的数字化版本、课程材料、交互式软件工程工具和用Java编写的“概念小程序”。 拟议中的VSERC教育翼的增加将允许教师和学生通过一个统一的接口，是独立的具体课程，概念和支持的研究领域更新和访问这个数据库。

ABSTRACT EEC-9705332 Mathur The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Software Engineering has developed the Virtual Software Engineering Research Center (VSERC), a prototype of a virtual enterprise on the Internet and World Wide Web (WWW). This project maintains and improves the accessibility and reliability of VSERC, provides for and improves the ease of transfer of VSERC to other Centers, and adds new educational capabilities to the software program. The enhancement of VSERC will be achieved by the addition of an Educational Wing that will allow Internet access to the following material: 1) Interactive Components, 2) Multi-Media Server Access Facilities, and 3) Software Engineering Courseware. The proposed enhancement of VSERC will allow educators and students to access all SERC related educational and research material through a single hierarchical interface. The research material is already available via VSERC and is continually updated. Starting in Fall 1997, the educational material will begin entering into the database currently under construction in SERC and the Department of Computer Science at Purdue. This database will contain the digitized versions of live lectures delivered in the classroom, course material, interactive software engineering tools, and "concept applets" written in Java. The proposed addition of the Educational Wing to VSERC will allow faculty and students to update and access this database through a uniform interface that is independent of the specific courses, concepts, and research areas supported.
