Abstract :
Summary form only given. Computer usage has evolved from small special purpose applications to large commercial off the shelf software (COTS) products that dominate the landscape. These COTS products present major challenges for our traditional software assistance paradigm. This talk explores those challenges and suggests research opportunities for software assistance in extending COTS products, in integrating them with other components, and in using them.
