Analysis and Testing

Hypermedia can be an effective technology for helping manage the myriad of heterogeneous artifacts, systems, and relationships which exist in large-scale software engineering projects. Pursuing this objective, the hyperware group is developing open, heterogeneous, distributed hyperprogram technology. The group's focus is on developing Internet-scale event-based protocols; mechanisms and standards to integrate link-server hypermedia functionality with the WWW; support for hyperweb configuration management, semantically-rich link generation, cooperation agents, and semi-automated rationale capture of software development processes.
