Software Sciences and Engineering Research

Abstract

During the period 30 September 1993 to 31 December 1999, Carnegie Mellon University pursued a broad set of research initiatives in response to DARPA's BAA 93-11. These projects constituted a wide-ranging research program that significantly advanced the state of the art in software engineering science and technology. The projects addressed two fundamental issues in software design and implementation, namely: 1. How to ensure that computing systems have the right functionality to meet user's needs. 2. How to make a computer system highly reliable and maintainable over its lifecycle. All the contractual tasks attacked one or both of these questions in a different way. In 1997 under the additional task of productizing research results, speech-understanding technology was applied to multilingual interaction (including translation) and automatic meeting transcription. A comprehensive review of each effort, along with a bibliography that includes selected publication abstracts comprise the report.
