The Future of Programming Environments: Integration, Synergy, and Assistance

Abstract

Modern programming environments foster the integration of automated, extensible, and reusable tools. New tools can thus leverage the available functionality and collect data from program and process. The synergy of both will allow the automation of current empirical approaches. This leads to automated assistance in all development decisions for programmers and managers alike: "For this task, you should collaborate with Joe, because it will likely require risky work on the mailbox class".
