Report on the Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) Conference on Frameworks Convergence.
Abstract
This paper reports on a conference sponsored by DARPA to address technical approaches and barriers to the convergence of Software Engineering Environment (SEE) frameworks. Several efforts currently specifying, designing, and/or implementing SEEs or SEE frameworks are proposing standards for tool interfaces and object management services. Potential conflicts have been thought to exist between some of these proposed standards. However, there is an emerging hypothesis that some approaches previously considered in conflict may in fact be complementary. It may be possible to develop standards that are convergent rather than competitive, in that they operate in conjunction with each other, or may be merged into single standards. Successful convergence would result in the simultaneous satisfaction of a broader range of tool and environment developer needs that can be satisfied by the standards individually, and thereby would broaden the applicability of these standards. This paper reports on the technical discussions of the conference as well as the agreements and conclusions reached by the participants.
