  Benefits and Costs of ATP Investments in Component-Based Software
Intermetrics did not achieve the second goal of integrating their tool with evaluation capabilities, and they do not anticipate achieving it in the future.
The Intermetrics group working on the technology decided that the challenges of accomplishing the second goal were too great and that they needed to focus on turning the technological accomplishments that they had achieved into a marketable product.
Intermetrics also said that one of the major benefits from ATP funding was that ATP truly understands the research process.

However, Intermetrics estimates it is worth $1 billion to the U.S. economy over a five-year period to deliver debugging tools that can dramatically increase developer productivity, improve the reliability of the resulting systems, and shorten the delivery time of component-based software and systems.
Intermetrics proposes to develop a tool for quickly detecting and debugging incompatibilities in distributed, software components.
The most technically challenging aspect of the Intermetrics tool is automating the placement of the probes and enabling creation of the application-specific viewers by interpreting semantic knowledge of components captured during their development.

Intermetrics, or I2 as it was known, was a wonderful place to work--even if I had missed the very early glory days (pre-1980).
Intermetrics was a software tools company; it was founded by five guys from MIT; see Tony Flanders' history for the early days.
I spent 10 years there (from '83 to '94) in a variety of tech jobs...I did system admin in CFD for the first half (RSX and VMS) and did tech peripheral in SPD (QA/tech support/tech writing) the second half before moving to Pittsburgh (and the web) in '94.

The most memorable part of the flight for me, aside from the landing and the moon-walk itself, was the descent from lunar orbit to the surface.
Had we demanded computer time for every schedule task, then time would have run out, tasks would have overlapped, data would be confused and out of sync, and the flight would have been lost.

 Ada for the Web
Intermetrics has recently announced an Ada95 compiler targetted to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that is in the process of becoming an important part of the World Wide Web technology.
The Java High-Order Language defined by Sun is intended to compile to an executable bytecode, sometimes called j-code, that can be downloaded from a WWW server to clients and executed interpretively.
It has lately been suggested that j-code will also be used to write full applications and run with more facilities available; such applications would be portable to all platforms for which j-code interpreters and JVM support have been written, potentially all major platforms.
