Software is multidimensional but the tools that support it are not. The lack of tool support causes the software artifacts representing different dimensions to evolve independently and inconsistently. In order to support the evolution of multidimensional software, an environment must ensure that the different dimensions evolve concurrently. This can be accomplished through an integration framework that maintains consistency of the different dimensions as they evolve. We have built a prototype of such a mechanism by setting up and maintaining constraints among artifacts representing the different software dimensions. This paper describes that prototype and our experiences with it to date.

This paper discusses the gradual invalidation of assumptions explicitly or implicitly embedded in software and shows that this is an inevitable, probably dominant, cause and driver of software evolution. It reasons that such evolution is a natural phenomenon having major safety, reliability and economic impact on computer usage. In the context of growing computer application, the phenomenon and its significance as this technology is ever more widely exploited are becoming increasingly apparent. Many evolution properties identified are also present in the wider context. But as demonstrated in the next section their impact is more profound in the field of software development, application and maintenance than in other fields. The present paper is restricted to the software areas.

The authors present a theoretical study of a tool used to improve the quality of delivered software. Common approaches to software quality focus on the quantitative aspects of the code and neglect the qualitative sides of the utilization though these last characteristics are far from being worthless for the end-user. Starting from the work of B.W. Boehm et al. (1978) and J.A. McCall et al. (1977) concerning factors, criteria and metrics, the authors have constructed a model which serves to put together the user's needs and the programmer's possibilities. The model incorporates a quantitative assessment of both addresses. The algorithms of the tool using this model are also described.

Risk analysis and integrated verification and validation are two important elements in a plan for ensuring the safety of critical software systems. We describe an approach we are currently developing for integrating risk analysis, reliability analysis, and metrics analysis, and propose a fault predictor that would integrate the results of these activities. Practical difficulties associated with our approach are also discussed, as are limitations of the proposed predictor. We conclude with a discussion of what has been learned to date, and with suggestions for future work.

Software development for large robotic projects involves many different researchers with different programming needs, levels of mastery and areas of research. Integrating such heterogeneous software while maintaining requirements like real- time, dependability, intensive access to hardware, etc., is a challenge in any long-term effort of this kind. A step forward along that way is the BABEL development system that supports heterogeneous programming languages (C, C++, JAVA), communication middleware (CORBA, TCP/IP connections) and platforms (RT-operating systems, MS-Windows). This paper focuses on the core of BABEL: the Aracne specification that covers the design phase of the robotic application lifecycle.
