Automating software development

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the emerging trends in information technology and its implications for the developing countries and propose a national information management strategy with a comprehensive competence building plan, keeping in view the positive and negative aspects of IT for the developed countries.

TL;DR: Experimental results covering the synthesis of two real-time software tasks that meet the desired constraints are presented, illustrating the effectiveness of the simulated-annealing-like approach in searching the software design space and the high reusability and maintainability provided by the use of synthesis technology.

TL;DR: Integrated product development (IPD) as discussed by the authors is becoming a standard practice for manufacturers of complex systems, and has been incorporated into the DoD's draft Mil-Spec 499B. The IPD approach involves a cross-functional design team that considers the entire product life cycle, thus shortening development time while assuring design quality and integrity.

TL;DR: Empirical comparison with a state-of-the-art numerical solver in the domain of kinematic simulation shows degrees of freedom analysis to be more robust and substantially more efficient.
