CAREER: Rationale Capture for High-Assurance Systems

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)资助的。该项目将开发基本管理系统背后的想法和所需的工具，该系统捕获软件开发过程中所做的设计决策。该方法利用为支持语义网而开发的技术，使用语义注释来提取信息，以便将其结构化为论证格式，以便在开发和维护中使用。研究和教育活动将影响我们利用在软件项目开发过程中获取的知识来增强这些软件项目的能力。该项目还将利用基本原理来增强学生的教育体验。通过理性、批判性思维和创造力项目，我们将探讨基于辩论的理性基础和学生学习之间的关系，该项目评估理性基础帮助学生发展到更高的认知和智力发展水平的能力。与外联组织的伙伴关系将为任职人数不足的群体和残疾人提供学习机会。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5).This project will develop the ideas behind, and tools required for, a Rationale Management System that captures design decisions made during software development. The approach utilizes technology developed to support the Semantic Web, using Semantic Annotation to extract information so that it can be structured into an argumentation format for use in development and maintenance. The research and educational activities will impact our ability to leverage knowledge captured during the development of software projects to enhance those software projects. The project will also use rationale to enhance the educational experience of students. The relationship between argumentation-based rationale and student learning will be explored through the Rationale, Critical Thinking, and Creativity Project which evaluates the ability of rationale to assist students in moving to higher levels of cognitive and intellectual development. Partnerships with outreach organizations will provide learning opportunities for underrepresented groups and persons with disabilities.
