Objective
The objective of the MACS project is to define and implement a prototype system to assist software maintenance. Design graphs will be incorporated in the system to meet the software maintainer's requirements for information concerning applications design decisions and their intent. Application designs will be portrayed at different levels of abstraction to provide structured information for use in software maintenance.
MACS aims to support software maintainers in error diagnosis and debugging, program porting, performance improvement and system enhancement and evolution, and in other aspects of their work. It will do so by the provision of a system for assisting the analysis of applications.
The work-programme includes:
- developing a knowledge representation system for software design graph recording and use
- developing application and program design analysers for design graph construction
- applying human factors principles to the system conceptualisation and to the design of the person-machine interface
- developing a prototype software maintenance assistance system
- integrating both the knowledge representation and the software evolution expert systems with a configuration management system
- validation by experimentation on existing software applications.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
