DIRECTORATE FOR COMPUTER-COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH (C-CR)
Software Engineering and Languages
The Software Engineering and Languages Program supports research on technical
issues that underlie the design, validation and evolution of software-based
systems. Research topics include programming languages, including
domain-specific languages for specification and design; constructive
approaches to software design and evolution; issues of software modularity
and composition; techniques to enhance confidence and quality; software
security; software design environments that incorporate semantic knowledge;
general techniques applicable to software analysis and synthesis. Ideas for
the effective application of design automation concepts to software are
welcome.
Experimental approaches to concept validation are strongly encouraged.
Experiments to evaluate concepts in software engineering are a necessary
adjunct to conceptually motivated research. High quality data on many
aspects of software engineering processes are needed.
