RESEARCH SUMMARY

Recent research includes development environments, software visualization tools, and computer science education. This research, which was funded by NASA, ARPA, and 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.
