The Texas Tech University Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site program provides opportunities for ten undergraduate students each summer to conduct research on two of the most crucial aspects of computing, software engineering and service composition. This REU Site project meets the needs for an undergraduate computing research environment in the Texas South Plains and contributes to producing graduate students in two essential sub-disciplines of computer science. The overall basis for this REU Site is for research efforts that improve the development of software and service-oriented systems in a wide variety of application domains. There are three major objectives for the proposed REU Site: increase the percentage of women and underrepresented minority students; improve the retention of computer science students; and increase those undergraduate students entering into graduate computing education degree programs. These objectives are met through research that addresses a broad spectrum of means for improving software development. The projects address: software specification generation based on user input and output; construction of a self-managed embedded software system using software specifications; and dynamic techniques for service composition and recovery in a service-oriented environment. The undergraduate student research topics include language development, software tool design and implementation, application development in a variety of application domains to demonstrate applicability, and measurement of the improvements. The technical results of the research efforts with undergraduate students will be disseminated in a broad set of publications. The broadening participation aspects of the broader impacts will be in the women and underrepresented minority students that are recruited for the program, the achievement of success at conducting research, and then continuation on to graduate school.

德克萨斯理工大学本科生研究经验网站计划每年夏天为10名本科生提供机会，对计算，软件工程和服务组合的两个最关键的方面进行研究。 这个REU网站项目满足了在得克萨斯州南部平原的本科计算研究环境的需求，并有助于在计算机科学的两个重要的子学科生产研究生。 这个REU站点的总体基础是研究工作，以改进各种应用领域中的软件和面向服务的系统的开发。 拟议的REU网站有三个主要目标：增加女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生的比例;提高计算机科学学生的保留率;增加进入研究生计算机教育学位课程的本科生。这些目标是通过研究来实现的，这些研究解决了广泛的改进软件开发的方法。 这些项目涉及：基于用户输入和输出的软件规范生成;使用软件规范的自管理嵌入式软件系统的构造;以及面向服务环境中的服务组合和恢复的动态技术。 本科生的研究课题包括语言开发，软件工具的设计和实现，在各种应用领域的应用程序开发，以证明适用性，并衡量改进。 本科生研究工作的技术成果将在一系列广泛的出版物中传播。 更广泛的影响的扩大参与方面将是在妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生被招募的程序，在进行研究的成功的成就，然后继续到研究生院。
