Summary on Grant Application Form |
Developers spend most of their time maintaining code, with little tool support.
To maintain code, one must understand it. Clear code is easier to read and
understand, and therefore less expensive and risky to evolve and maintain; it
is also notoriously difficult to write. We will help developers write clearer
code to speed maintenance, and increase developer productivity. Source code
unites two channels - the programming language and natural language - to
describe algorithms. LUCID will advance the state of the art in software
engineering by developing new analyses that exploit the interconnections
between these channels to find uninformative names, stale comments, and bugs
that manifest as discrepancies between the two channels.
