Collaborative Proposal: Center for Software-Intensive Ultra-Large-Scale Systems

这项规划补助金用于建立一个新的软件密集型超大规模系统的工业/大学合作研究中心的基础。 这个拟议的中心最初将包括五个研究中心，分别位于弗吉尼亚大学、密歇根州立大学、加州圣地亚哥大学、范德比尔特大学和华盛顿大学。 该中心的研究重点是复杂系统的软件。 该中心将在软件理论和实践的传统和新兴领域进行基础和应用研究，包括计算机科学和其他学科的交叉研究，包括经济学，认知和人类学。 该研究将解决六个关键领域的重要问题和机会：软件语言，软件分析和综合，软件设计，可信软件，软件基础设施和感知软件。

This planning grant serves to establish the basis for a new Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Software-Intensive Ultra-Large-Scale Systems. This proposed center will initially comprise of five research sites, at the University of Virginia, Michigan State University, the University of California San Diego, Vanderbilt University and the University of Washington. The research focus of this proposed center is on software for complex systems. The Center will conduct basic and applied research in traditional and emerging areas of software theory and practice, including research at the intersection of computer science and other disciplines, to include economics, cognition and anthropology. The research will address important problems and opportunities in six key areas: software language, software analysis and synthesis, software design, trustworthy software, software infrastructure and sentient software.
