Acknowledgments
SBUML was supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Precursory Research for Embryonic Science and Technology (PRESTO), from Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). Addition support has been provided by the Exploratory Software Project of the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA). Study of Jeff Dike's UML code (with all its trampolines and other interesting techniques) was done jointly with Osamu Sato and Professor Masami Hagiya of Tokyo University. Important portions of the current code were written by Osamu Sato. Mitsuharu Yamamoto helped with testing and provided needed Linux expertise. Current development is being funded by a Grant-in-Aid for Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology (CREST), from the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). Special acknowledgments must be given to Jeff Dike, for creating the UML system, and Greg Lonnon, who contributed UML's original copy-on-write(COW) feature, which has been essential for making snapshots small enough to be practical. |
