In order to make programming easier, future software development environments will have to raise the level of abstraction at which programmers work, provide them with more and better information about their systems, and handle more of the mundane and mechanical tasks involved in programming. This project is designed to lay the foundations for the next-generation programming tools that will compose such environments. In particular, the project will consider two important tools: one to support design patterns, and another to visualize software behavior. The design patterns tool will let programmers find, create, verify, and edit instances of design patterns in their source code, thus allowing higher-level programming. The software visualizations will enable programmers to quickly define and see visualizations for specific problems that arise in program execution, thus allowing better understanding of the running program.

为了使编程更容易，未来的软件开发环境必须提高程序员工作的抽象层次，为他们提供更多更好的系统信息，并处理编程中涉及的更多平凡和机械的任务。该项目旨在为下一代编程工具奠定基础，这些工具将构成这样的环境。特别地，该项目将考虑两个重要的工具：一个用于支持设计模式，另一个用于可视化软件行为。设计模式工具将允许程序员在其源代码中查找、创建、验证和编辑设计模式的实例，从而允许更高级的编程。软件可视化将使程序员能够快速定义和查看程序执行中出现的特定问题的可视化，从而更好地理解正在运行的程序。
