CPA-SEL-T: Collaborative Research: Traceability+: a Service Oriented Framework to Support Value-Added Software Traceability

题目：可追溯性+：支持增值软件可追溯性的面向服务的框架PIs: Jane Hayes， Jane Huang， and Jonathan Maletic可追溯性在渗透到我们社会的软件系统的开发和保证中起着重要作用。通过支持变更影响评估、应用程序的再工程和其他关键的软件工程活动，它有助于确保构建后的系统正确地实现所有需求。尽管以前的工作集中于交付处理特定的可追溯性问题的点解决方案，但这项研究将开发一个新的、强大的可追溯性模型，traceability +，它将提供增值的可追溯性服务，以支持不同的涉众执行关键的软件工程活动。为此，研究人员将开发一种新的可追溯性查询语言和相关的查询机制，识别利益相关者的可追溯性相关需求，开发可追溯性服务以满足这些需求，建立可追溯性任务和相关查询的知识库，并处理各种数据格式。如果成功，这项研究可能会改变这个社区。S对可追溯性及其在软件工程生命周期中的好处的理解。通过让行业人员作为项目的高级职员积极参与，以及通过已经建立的软件可追溯性卓越中心，对拟议框架的评估和结果的传播得到了加强。

Proposals: P0811140/P0810924/P0811021 Title: Traceability+: a Service Oriented Framework to Support Value-Added Software Traceability PIs: Jane Hayes, Jane Huang, and Jonathan Maletic Traceability plays an important role in the development and assurance of software systems that permeate our society. It helps to assure that an as-built system correctly implements all requirements by supporting change impact assessment, re-engineering of applications, and other critical software engineering activities. Although previous work has focused on delivering point solutions that address specific traceability issues, this research will develop a new, powerful traceability model, Traceability+, that will deliver value-added traceability services designed to support diverse stakeholders as they perform critical software engineering activities. To accomplish this, the investigators will develop a new traceability query language and associated query mechanism, identify stakeholders' traceability-related needs, develop traceability services to meet those needs, build a knowledge base of traceability tasks and related queries, and handle varied data formats. If successful, the research could transform the community?s understanding of traceability and its benefits across the software engineering lifecycle. The evaluation of the proposed framework and dissemination of results is enhanced by having industry personnel actively participate as senior staff on the project and by an already-established Center of Excellence for Software Traceability.
