What is the process and purpose of the Debug Project being conducted by Google's parent company?
Debug Project Debug Project is an ongoing project by Alphabet Inc. in California to reduce the numbers of mosquitos in a given area through interruption of the reproductive cycle. Through laboratory methods naturally-occurring bacteria Wolbachia infect healthy male mosquitos of the species Aedes aegypti. Subsequently these mosquitos are released into the wild with the intent to mate with female mosquitos and by virtue of the Wolbachia infection lay non-producing eggs. It is believed that through this process the overall population of mosquitos will be reduced by interrupting the reproductive cycle. The hope is that if successful, these might be released in more endemic areas of the world where mosquitos pose a health risk through the diseases they carry.
Domain engineering Domain engineering, also called product line engineering, is the entire process of reusing domain knowledge in the production of new software systems. It is a key concept in systematic software reuse. A key idea in systematic software reuse is the domain. Most organizations work in only a few domains. They repeatedly build similar systems within a given domain with variations to meet different customer needs. Rather than building each new system variant from scratch, significant savings may be achieved by reusing portions of previous systems in the domain to build new ones.
