Most software today is configurable, meaning it can be customized for different user purposes. While configurability makes software flexible, it can have an impact on software reliability, correctness, usability, performance, and security across all stages of development. Hence, a large community of researchers are studying ways to explore, sample, predict and reason about configurable systems in multiple sub-disciplines of computer science. This collaborative planning proposal brings together researchers from Iowa State University and the University of Central Florida to lay the groundwork for a collective research collaborative, A Community for Configurability Open Research and Development (ACCORD), that will help to centralize research on configurability and to create shared approaches, tools and solutions.The proposal includes activities to survey the research community, create awareness across different sub-disciplines, and document common goals and needs via interaction through workshops and outreach. In addition, activities will develop a common framework, set of tools, and vocabulary, including exemplar artifacts that embody the nature of ACCORD. The final ACCORD infrastructure will provide software tools, models, and solutions that work across different communities, along with tutorials and meta-data information that is not obtainable by only searching the literature. Benchmarks for different types of configurable systems will highlight functional, security and performance challenges.Concepts on configurability and preliminary ACCORD artifacts will be used in the classroom. Both graduate and undergraduate students will be involved in the prototyping of designs and artifacts and will help to build a survey of existing research in configurability. Workshops will be held for different sub-disciplines. Students from the Iowa State first-year honors undergraduate program and the University of Central Florida K-12 Camp Connect will be involved in activities related to this project. The planning will include outreach to non-CISE disciplines, e.g. researchers in the Bioinformatics community, who can benefit from the eventual development of ACCORD.The project website can be found at: https://faculty.sites.iastate.edu/mcohen/accord. It will be retained past the lifetime of this grant. All significant artifacts will be archived with a permanent digital object identifier (DOI).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

今天的大多数软件都是可配置的，这意味着它可以根据不同的用户目的进行定制。虽然可配置性使软件变得灵活，但它会在开发的所有阶段对软件的可靠性、正确性、可用性、性能和安全性产生影响。 因此，大量的研究人员正在研究如何在计算机科学的多个子学科中探索、采样、预测和推理可配置系统。 这项合作计划提案汇集了来自爱荷华州州立大学和中央佛罗里达大学的研究人员，为集体研究合作奠定基础，这将有助于集中研究可配置性，并创建共享的方法，工具和解决方案。该提案包括调查研究社区的活动，通过讲习班和外联活动的互动，提高对不同次级学科的认识，并记录共同目标和需求。此外，活动将开发一个通用框架、一组工具和词汇表，包括体现雅阁本质的示例工件。最终的雅阁基础设施将提供跨不同社区工作的软件工具、模型和解决方案，沿着教程和元数据信息，而这些信息仅通过搜索文献是无法获得的。不同类型的可配置系统的基准测试将突出功能、安全和性能方面的挑战。可配置性的概念和初步的雅阁工件将在课堂上使用。研究生和本科生都将参与设计和工件的原型制作，并将帮助对现有的可配置性研究进行调查。将为不同的子学科举办讲习班。来自爱荷华州一年级荣誉本科课程和中央佛罗里达大学K-12营地连接的学生将参与与该项目有关的活动。该计划将包括与非CISE学科的联系，例如生物信息学界的研究人员，他们可以从雅阁的最终发展中受益。该项目的网站可以在：https://faculty.sites.iastate.edu/mcohen/accord上找到。它将在此授权的有效期内保留。所有重要的文物将被存档与永久的数字对象标识符（DOI）。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
