RESEARCH
SUMMARY
Recent research includes development environments and software visualization tools. This research, which was funded by NASA, ARPA, and currently by NSF, has focused on the automatic generation of new graphical representations which improve the comprehensibility of software and, as a result, reduce costs during design, construction, testing, and maintenance. See the jGRASP Research Project for more information.
