Abstract
A key to significantly improving the productivity of programmers is the construction of a unified environment that collects and manages all information needed by the programmer and automates many of the programming tasks, both creative and mundane. Much early progress can now be made working only on the mundane tasks while pursuing AI research to develop the technology needed to automate more creative tasks.
Creation of the UPE as we have described it requires a set of supporting technologies which are now becoming available. A strength of our effort is that we are collaborating with strong teams working in all of the supporting areas.
