9906590 Stoecklin，Sara Williams，Diedre D.佛罗里达农工大学软件工程研究和教育实验室(SEREL)该奖项有助于加强佛罗里达农工大学的目标：增加少数族裔学生对研究活动的参与，以激发学生对计算机和软件工程高级学位的兴趣。加强独联体系的教学和研究能力。为了实现这些目标，招募和跟踪学业上有前途的学生参加奖学金、实习、研讨会/会议、教师指导的研究和研究生招生活动。SEREL是一个促进学生研究的中心，它将通过网络、计算机和服务器能力得到增强，以进一步研究软件工程。该奖项还将用于为独联体部门获得CSAB认证做准备。软件工程的方法、技术和工具将进一步发展到：通过检查生成的目标代码来预测代码段的执行时间使用实时体系结构规范(RAS)和实时计算树逻辑(RTCTL)来扩展统一建模语言使口语对话允许语言知识发展对话建立一个系统原型来为用户提供自由地使用他们的自然语言协议进行单词计算开发测试技术和工具开发使用本体论知识领域从结构化的非结构化数据源中检索信息的方法和算法在增加妇女和少数族裔参与研究生教育的同时，该项目将促进、加强和加强CISE领域的研究。通过这一努力，预计FAMU将进一步发展其计算机、信息科学和软件工程研究能力，使更多的少数民族学生参与进来，为向代表性不足的群体授予更多博士学位铺平道路，特别是非裔美国人和计算机信息科学和工程专业的女性。希望通过这些努力，这个国家可以找到一个成功的模式，帮助建立一个更好的种族和族裔平衡的技术企业，造福于当代和子孙后代。

9906590Stoecklin, Sara Williams, Diedre D. Florida A & M UniversitySoftware Engineering Research and Education Laboratory (SEREL)This award contributes to strengthen Florida A & M University objectives:Increase participation of minority students in research activities to stimulate students' interest in advanced degrees in computing and software engineering.Strengthen instructional and research capabilities of the CIS Department.To meet these objectives, academically promising students are recruited and tracked for participation in scholarships, internships, workshops/conferences, faculty mentored research, and pre-graduate school enrollment activities. Serel, a focal point for stimulating student research, will be enhanced with networks, computers, and server capabilities to further research in software engineering. The award will also be used to prepare the CIS Department for CSAB accreditation. Software Engineering methods, techniques, and tools will be developed further to:Predict execution times of code segments by examining object code generatedExtend UML with Real-Time Architecture Specification (RAS) and Real-Time Computational Tree Logic (RTCTL)Adapt spoken language dialogues allowing linguistic knowledge to evolve the dialoguesBuild a system prototype to "compute with words" that provides users the freedom, to use their natural language protocolsDevelop testing techniques and toolsDevelop methods and algorithms for information retrieval from structured un-structured data sources using ontological knowledge domains While increasing the participation of women and minorities in graduate education, the project will facilitate, enhance, and intensify research in CISE areas. Through this effort, FAMU is expected to develop further its computer and information science and software engineering research capabilities involving minority students in greater numbers, paving the way for the conferring of more doctoral degrees to under-represented groups, particularly African Americans and women in Computer Information Science and Engineering. It is hoped that through these efforts, the nation might find a successful model that will help in building a better racially and ethnically balanced technological enterprise for the benefit of its present and future generations.
