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。 共同组织者是加州大学欧文分校的黛布拉·理查森和保拉 Inverardi，意大利的Aquila大学。 研讨会的目标是确定 适当使用形式化的软件体系结构作为分析的抽象基础， 测试，并建立跨学科调查的研究议程。 软件 工程学在意大利很强，对软件架构的兴趣也越来越大， 测试和分析，以及两个学科之间的相互作用。 该研讨会将导致美国和意大利参与者之间的新合作， 对软件架构领域的深入理解，这可能成为一个重要的 组织软件开发方法的力量。

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.
