	year = {2011},
	month = {2011},
	abstract = {DICE (the DSPCAD Integrative Command Line Environment) is a package of utilities that facilitates efficient management of software projects. Key areas of emphasis in DICE are cross-platform operation, support for projects that integrate heterogeneous programming languages, and support for applying and integrating different kinds of design and testing methodologies. The package is being developed at the University of Maryland to facilitate the research and teaching of methods for implementation, testing, evolution, and revision of engineering software. The package is also being developed as a foundation for developing experimental research software for techniques and tools in the area of computer-aided design (CAD) of digital signal processing (DSP) systems. The package is intended for cross-platform operation, and is currently being developed and used actively on the Linux, Mac OS, Solaris, and Windows (equipped with Cygwin) platforms. This report provides an introduction to DICE, and provides background on some of the key features in DICE Version 1.1. This report also gives a brief introduction to dicelang, which is a plug-in package for DICE that provides additional utilities, libraries, and tools for managing software projects in specific programming languages.},

	institution = {University of Maryland, College Park},
	abstract = {This report provides a description of the research and development activities towards learning much about the development and measurement of productivity in high performance computing environments. Many objectives were accomplished including the development of a methodology for measuring productivity in the parallel programming domain. This methodology was tested over 25 times at 8 universities across the United States and can be used to aid other researchers studying similar environments. The productivity measurement methodology incorporates both development time and performance into a single productivity number. An Experiment Manager tool for collecting data on the development of parallel programs, as well as a suite of tools to aid in the capture and analysis of such data was also developed. Lastly, several large scale development environments were studied in order to better understand the environment used to build large parallel programming applications. That work also included several surveys and interviews with many professional programmers in these environments.},

	institution = {ABERDEEN TEST CENTER MD},
	abstract = {Software contributes an ever-increasing level of functionality and control in today{\textquoteright}s systems. This increased use of software can dramatically increase the complexity and time needed to evaluate the safety of a system. Although the actual system safety cannot be verified during its development, measures can reveal early insights into potential safety problems and risks. An approach for developing early software safety measures is presented in this article. The approach and the example software measures presented are based on experience working with the safety engineering group on a large Department of Defense program.},

	abstract = {In this paper, we describe a way to improve the performance of hand-tailorable planners by compiling each domain description into a separate domain-specific planner. We discuss why and when this approach can be useful, and we present experimental results showing that our approach produces significant increases in the speed of planning.},

	abstract = {The Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) was established in 1976 for the purpose of studying and measuring software processes with the intent of identifying improvements that could be applied to the production of ground support software within the Flight Dynamics Division (FDD) at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The SEL has three member organizations: NASA/GSFC, the University of Maryland, and Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). The concept of process improvement within the SEL focuses on the continual understanding of both process and product as well as goal-driven experimentation and analysis of process change within a production environment.},
