U.S.-Italy Workshop on the Role of Software Architecture in Testing and Analysis: Marsala, Italy, July 1-3, 1998.

该奖项支持八名美国参与者参加美国-意大利研讨会，研究软件架构在测试和分析复杂系统中的作用。联合组织者是加州大学欧文分校的Debra Richardson和意大利阿奎拉大学的Paola Inverardi。研讨会的目标是确定形式化软件架构的适当用途，作为分析和测试的抽象基础，并为跨学科调查建立一个研究议程。软件工程在意大利很强大，人们对软件架构、测试和分析以及这两个学科之间的相互作用越来越感兴趣。该研讨会将导致美国和意大利参与者之间的新合作，并促进对软件体系结构领域的理解，这可能成为组织软件开发方法的重要力量。

This award supports the participation of eight US participants to a US-Italy workshop investigating the role of software architecture in testing and analyzing complex systems. The co-organizers are Debra Richardson of the University of California, Irvine, and Paola Inverardi, University of Aquila in Italy. The workshop's objectives are to identify the appropriate uses of formalized software architectures as the abstract basis for analysis and testing, and establishing a research agenda for cross-disciplinary investigation. Software engineering is strong in Italy, and there is a growing interest in software architecture, testing and analysis, and the interaction between the two disciplines. The workshop will lead to new collaborations between US and Italian participants and advance understanding of the area of software architecture that could become a significant force in organizing approaches to software development.
