Milestone 1 Addendum:
Further Information on the Literature Search
http://www.lib.calpoly.edu/research/all_databases/all_databases.htmlFor CSC 508 purposes, the good starting points are WorldCat database under "Books" and Current Periodicals, and Conference Proceedings databases under "Articles & Book Reviews". To find commercially available tools, you can use any of the normal search engines, such as Yahoo or Infoseek.
As described in the original Milestone 1 writeup, we are searching primarily for software engineering tools in the 508 project areas. During the course of your searching, if you come across any particularly interesting techniques or languages that could be used in our tools, then record these. For example, if your area is testing, and you find an article on "Automatic Generation of Test Cases", this is a candidate for further investigation, since it may discuss techniques that could be used in the testing tool.
When you find articles with plausible sounding titles, read the abstract if
it's available and record the information on where to locate the article.  If
it's not available in the Poly library, we can check Fisher's holdings or order
through inter-library loan.  To help you get started, here are the CSC 508
project areas, and some potentially useful keywords to begin your searching:
