Ray Locker writes the Pentagonâs initiative, entitled Mining and Understanding Software Enclaves, will be designed to develop âbig codeâ to match the militaryâs big data.
DARPA acknowledged in a special notice last week that the program is intended to simplify what has become increasingly complex software that control computers, systems and architectures.
“The goal of the MUSE program is to realize foundational advances in the way software is built, debugged, verified, maintained and understood,” the agency said in the document.
“Errors triggered during program execution can lead to potentially crippling security violations, unexpected runtime failure or unintended behavior,” it added.
