A group of computer scientists from universities, government laboratories, and private industry explored the idea of producing a systematized collection of software tools to facilitate the development and maintenance of Fortran programs. The collection would be a mechanism for making existing capabilities, resulting from research in software engineering, more readily available to Fortran users, in particular those developing numerical software. The construction of a unified ensemble of software tools from the specialized work of several groups would, itself, present significant challenges in software engineering. The planning group concluded that an organized effort to build a collection (to be called Toolpack) is feasible. They have taken the initial technical and organizational steps toward creating Toolpack. This prospectus is intended as a summary of the background, goals, and implementation strategy of the proposed project. (RWR)
