The U.S. Air Force is making software development
technologies available to the public through Texas
A&M.
A&M’s College of Engineering is participating in a
consortium that will test software programs before they
are transferred to the public.
A&M was one of two universities chosen to partici
pate in the consortium.
The Air Force’s Rome Air Development Center is
sponsoring new knowledge-based software technology
for the Knowledge Based Systems Laboratory and the
Laboratory for Software Research that were jointly se
lected as an “alpha test site.”
Paula Mayer, research associate in industrial engi
neering and consortium representative for A&M, said
the project is designed to detect and correct problems
in software programs.
“Software is expensive to maintain, write and test, so
given the opportunity to work with this program pro
duces more reliable software at a reduced cost in a
shorter time period,” Mayer said.
Mayer said big businesses, small businesses and two
universities were chosen to research and perfect
software and transfer the technology out to the public
so people can start using it.
“FTHic qtntp-oP-
and universities so students and researchers in coi|
puter science and engineering can become more at
quainted with research in software,” she said.
Mayer said some of the best minds in the counir
have been chosen to develop this program and Mt\\
had to compete with many other universities to best
