Collaborative software evolution

这项研究的目的是提高软件团队开发下一代交互系统的效率。一个关键方面是能够在软件生命周期的所有阶段有效地更改软件，以响应不断变化的业务和技术要求，并适应用户交互。研究将探索软件如何更改，如何设计软件以适应更改，以及如何协调基于团队的开发以有效地影响更改。为此，我将研究自动化软件工程和计算机科学技术，以促进软件更改，无论是在设计软件时还是在系统运行时。研究涉及大型软件系统的软件演变问题，但将特别关注下一代交互系统。要研究的交互系统的特点是它们在以下方面的使用：新颖的交互技术；3D图形；交互模拟；终端用户语言；以及利用大的高分辨率显示空间。将使用案例研究开发模型、符号、工具和技术。将使用正式的语言处理和软件分析技术来支持软件开发团队对大规模软件系统的自动更改。

The objective of this research is to increase the effectiveness of software teams in developing next generation interactive systems. A key aspect is the ability to effectively change software in all stages of the software life cycle in response to changing business and technological requirements, and to adapt to user interaction.The research will explore how software changes, how software can be designed to accommodate change, and how team-based development can be coordinated to efficiently affect change. To this end, I will investigate automated software engineering and computer science techniques to facilitate software change, either when the software is being designed or when the system is running.The research addresses software evolution issues of large-scale software systems, but will focus on next generation interactive systems in particular. The interactive systems to be investigated are characterized by their use of aspects such as: novel interaction techniques; 3D graphics; interactive simulation; end user languages; and the utilization of large high resolution display spaces.Models, notations, tools and techniques will be developed using case studies. Formal language processing and software analysis techniques will be used to support automated change of large-scale software systems by software development teams.
