Need and Rationale for the Software Technology for Adaptable Reliable Systems (STARS) Program.
Abstract
There is evidence that the future software state of practice will have to plan and build many larger, more complex, more reliable, and more maintainable systems less labor-intensively than the current state of practice does today. Moreover, the current state of practice, in many cases, is having trouble meeting current requirements. Often, state-of-the-art technologies that could be used are not because widespread popularization of a software technology can take more than 15 to 20 years. Accelerating the transition of the state-of-the-art into the state-of-practice is one opportunity for closing this technology insertion gap. Where state-of-the-art technologies do not exist to improve the state-of-practice, R&D must be fostered. The STARS (Software Technology for Adaptable Reliable Systems) program is necessary to accelerate, coordinate, and disseminate the results of R&D in software technology, bridging the gulf between future and current software technology states of practice, and meeting the need for an improved software state-of-practice.
