ABSTRACT

GRASP - Graphical Representations for Algorithms, Structures, and Processes

The GRASP Project has successfully created and prototyped a new algorithmic level graphical representation for Ada software: the Control Structure Diagram (CSD). The primary impetus for creation of the CSD was to improve the comprehension efficiency of Ada 95, C, C++, Java, and VHDL source code and, as a result, improve software reliability and reduce software costs.

GRASP provides the capability to generate CSD's from Ada 95, C, C++, and Java source code in both a reverse and forward engineering mode with a level of flexibility suitable for professional application. As of release 4.3, GRASP has been integrated with GNAT, GNU's Ada 95 compiler. This has resulted in a comprehensive graphical based development environment for Ada 95. The user may view, edit, print, and compile source code as CSD's with no discernible addition to storage or computational overhead.

JGRASP is a version of GRASP that runs on the Java Virtual Machine, thereby running in a platform-independent fashion.

The development of GRASP has been supported by research grants from NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and the Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA).
