evolving understanding of software architectures and how they could be documented and assessed. As a result of this effort, the SEI was able to demonstrate many of the underlying concepts and it served as a basis for further refinement in subsequent software architecture-related efforts.

Reducing the Cost of Modifying the User Interface The Challenge: Cost-Effectively Modifying User Interfaces for Defense Systems In studies dating back to 1978, data showed that the cost of development and modification of the user interface contributed over 50 percent to the total cost of ownership [Sutton 1978]. Attempts to reduce the cost of developing defense systems clearly had to include reduction in the cost of developing and maintaining the user interface. A Solution: The Serpent User Interface Management System The high cost of developing and modifying the user interface led to a class of systems intended to reduce this cost. These user interface management systems (UIMSs) varied in their target audience (developers and end users) and in their approaches. Serpent was created and distributed by the SEI to demonstrate UIMS concepts to developers of DoD software-intensive systems. In addition, SEI staff published articles about Serpent (for example those by Bass and Lee [Bass 1989, 1990; Lee 1990]. In the general case, a UIMS is a set of tools for the specification and execution of the user interface portion of the system. A UIMS provides tools for the specification of the static, layout portion and the dynamic portion of the user interface, and for the execution of the specifications. Serpent was a UIMS that approached the problem of reducing the total ownership cost of the user interface by separating the user interface portion of a system from the functional portion, allowing for modifications to the user interface with minimal impact on the remainder of the system. The user interface is a major concern of most computing systems and, generally, is distinct from the concerns of the application. Separating the user interface from the application leads to a three-part division of a software system: the presentation of the user interface, the functionality of the application, and the mapping between the user interface and the application. The advantages of this division are the following: It allows modifications of the user interface to be done with minimal modification to the functional portion and vice versa. It does this by isolating the functional portion of the application from the details of the user interface. For example, whether a command is specified through a menu choice or through a textual string is not relevant to the functional portion of an application. Removing these concerns from the functional portion of the application allows the type of interface to be modified dramatically without any modifications to the application. It allows the development of tools that are specialized for the design, specification, and execution of the user interface. For example, a layout editor, a dynamic specification language, and a runtime to support them can be included. Serpent supported the incremental development of the user interface from prototyping through production and maintenance. It did this by providing an interactive layout editor for prototyping, by integrating the layout editor with a dynamic specification language for production and maintenance, and by having an open architecture so that new user interface functionality could be added during the maintenance phase.
