Collaborative software evolution

这项研究的目的是提高软件团队在开发下一代交互式系统的有效性。其中一个关键方面是在软件生命周期的各个阶段有效地改变软件以响应不断变化的业务和技术需求，并适应用户交互的能力。研究将探讨软件如何改变，软件如何设计以适应变化，以及如何协调以团队为基础的开发以有效地影响变化。为此，我将研究自动化软件工程和计算机科学技术，以促进软件的变化，无论是在软件设计或系统运行时，研究解决大型软件系统的软件演化问题，但将特别关注下一代交互式系统。交互式系统的特点是他们使用的方面，如：新的交互技术;三维图形;交互式仿真;最终用户语言;和利用大型高分辨率显示空间。模型，符号，工具和技术将开发使用案例研究。正式语言处理和软件分析技术将用于支持软件开发团队自动更改大型软件系统。

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.
