Software Management System

Transportable Applications Environment (TAE), a Goddard Space Flight Center developed software management system, organizes multiple computer programs by providing user interface development tools and a stable framework for a system. It binds applications into an easily operated whole and interfaces with users. The program also lowers system development and software conversion costs by providing software and structures for commonly recurring user requirements. Originally developed to support image processing and remote sensing applications, TAE is now used in scientific analysis and defense systems, and as a teaching tool by private industry and government. A support office assists users. New development areas are anticipated.
