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（公法111-5）资助的。这个项目将开发一个基本原理管理系统背后的思想和所需的工具，该系统可以捕获在软件开发过程中做出的设计决策。该方法利用为支持语义Web而开发的技术，使用语义注释提取信息，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期间获取的知识来增强这些软件项目的能力。本计划亦会运用理据提升学生的教育体验。以论证为基础的基本原理与学生学习之间的关系将通过基本原理、批判性思维和创造力项目来探讨，该项目评估基本原理帮助学生向更高层次的认知和智力发展的能力。与外联组织的伙伴关系将为代表性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.
