GOAL

The GOAL IDE is an open-source editor for the GOAL programming language. This language allows you to progam rational agents which derive their choice of action from their beliefs and goals. The project is used in a variety of research projects, as can be seen from projects website.

The GOAL language and IDE has initially been developed by Koen Hindriks, member of the Man-Machine Interaction section at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science of Delft University of Technology:

"SIG has provided us with many insights on how to improve the quality of our code and has helped us to locate where to start. The expert advice SIG is able to provide on how to ensure and improve software quality has been and will remain useful for increasing the quality of our software that is continuously being developed by different programmers over time."

A word from our customers...

"Our financial IT system produced inconsistent and unpredictable results. With a Software Risk Assessment, it took the Software Improvement Group only a couple of weeks to identify the technical causes of the problem. The results of the analysis provided the facts we needed for negotiations with our supplier. We were no longer solely dependent on the information provided by the supplier."

H.J. Boonen, Senior Vice President, ABN Amro

"During the preparation process of migrating from nine to ten-digit bank account numbers, the Software Improvement Group performed a Software Risk Assessment on parts of our web applications. This analysis accurately identified the areas where the ten-digit bank account number was likely to cause problems. These problem areas were marked and repaired during regular maintenance operations."
