Scientific Coordination of SPP 1593

建立了优先方案1593(SPP1593)，以调查开发、运行和维护长寿命软件系统、在整个生命周期内保持高质量和支持演变的基本方法和途径。在不断变化的需求、新的新兴技术以及新的软件、硬件和系统组件的集成方面，现有方法不能解决遗留软件、软件适应新平台和软件系统的持续演变的严重当前问题。我们的目标是了解在软件开发过程中必须保留哪些信息以简化软件演化，以及如何尽可能轻量级地获取这些信息，以及如何最有效地使用这些信息来支持软件和软件/硬件系统的持续演化，从而使系统能够适应不断变化的需求和环境。为了贴近应用，我们专注于两个特定的应用领域：自动化工程中的商业信息系统和生产系统。战略规划编制项目1593的科学协调范围扩大，以继续为战略规划编制方案1593的所有项目提供科学、组织和技术支持。除一般科学指导外，信息技术基础设施的管理以及活动的筹备和管理都在该项目的工作范围内。此外，该项目负责支持项目间的合作，例如共同案例研究、SPP1593本身在国际上的知名度，以及成果文件，以确保研究成果在第二个资助期结束后的可持续性。

The Priority Programme 1593 (SPP1593) has been established to investigate foundational methodologies and approaches to develop, operate and maintain long-living software systems, sustaining high quality and supporting evolution during the whole life cycle. Existing approaches do not solve the severe current problems with legacy software, the adaptation of software to new platforms and the continuous evolution of software systems with respect to continuously changing requirements, new emerging technologies, and integration of new software, hardware and system components. Our aim is to understand which information must be kept during software development to ease software evolution and how to gain this information as lightweight as possible and how to use it most effectively to support continuous evolution of software and software/hardware systems, thus making systems adaptable to changing requirements and environments. To stay close to application, we focus on two particular application domains: business information systems and production systems in automation engineering. The project Scientific Coordination of SPP 1593 is extended to continue the scientific, organisational and technical support for all projects of the SPP1593. Besides the general scientific guidance, the administration of IT infrastructures as well as the preparation and management of events are within the working area of the project. Furthermore, the project is responsible for supporting inter-project collaborations, e.g., on common case studies, the international visibility of the SPP1593 as such, as well as the documentation of results to take care of sustainability of research results beyond the end of the second funding period.
