Collaborative Proposal: Center for Software-Intensive Ultra-Large-Scale Systems

这项规划拨款将为建立一个新的软件密集型超大规模系统产学研合作研究中心奠定基础。这个拟建的中心最初将由四个研究地点组成，分别位于弗吉尼亚大学、密歇根州立大学、加州大学圣地亚哥分校和范德比尔特大学。该中心的研究重点是复杂系统的软件。该中心将在软件理论和实践的传统和新兴领域进行基础和应用研究，包括计算机科学和其他学科的交叉研究，包括经济学、认知学和人类学。这项研究将解决六个关键领域的重要问题和机会：软件语言、软件分析和综合、软件设计、值得信赖的软件、软件基础设施和感知软件。

This planning grant serves to establish the basis for a new Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Software-Intensive Ultra-Large-Scale Systems. This proposed center will initially comprise of four research sites, at the University of Virginia, Michigan State University, the University of California San Diego, and Vanderbilt University. The research focus of this proposed center is on software for complex systems. The Center will conduct basic and applied research in traditional and emerging areas of software theory and practice, including research at the intersection of computer science and other disciplines, to include economics, cognition and anthropology. The research will address important problems and opportunities in six key areas: software language, software analysis and synthesis, software design, trustworthy software, software infrastructure and sentient software.
