The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on SOftware Engineering is a book on SOftware project management by Fred Brooks, whose central theme is that "Adding manpower to a late SOftware project makes it later."
This paper introduces a SOftware visualization system that: creates animations of programs without the programmer writing any animation code and provides a window interface that automatically displays program information, explicitly showing the scope and context of its data, and allowing considerable control over animation displays.
Pre-designed and pre-verified hardware and SOftware blocks can be combined on
chips for many different applicationsVthey promise large productivity gains.
