Megaprogramming for NASA's Unmanned Missons

The title of the proposed Phase I project is "Megaprogramming for NASA's Unmanned Missions: Domain-Based Software Engineering". The objective of the Phase I activities is to develop a domain-based software engineering life cycle process consisting of an integrated, object-based domain-engineering process. A comprehensive suite of object analysis and design techniques will be specified which will support the construction of software families and the creation and management of Domain-Specific Software Architectures (DSSAs) to support megaprogramming. These DSSAs will be designed to support NASA unmanned mission software development from analysis of requirements to development and support throughout the extended mission life cycle. We will survey available object technology, repository library frameworks, and advance CASE technology so that we can specify a candidate suite of tools to support the NASA megaprogramming methodology. 1. Development of new CASE tools to support megaprogramming. 2. Development of new courseware in domain engineering and megaprogramming.
