About It's Nice to Meet You!
Welcome to Satsy!
Satsy began as a dissertation topic for Dr. Kathryn Stolee at the University of Nebraska and is the foundation for her continued research as a member of the Computer Science and Computer Engineering faculty at Iowa State University.
Code-search is a real problem that deserves a robust solution. Satsy solves this problem by delivering snippets of source code that satisfy a users needs. These needs are determined by collecting a series of inputs and outputs(Strings, Characters, Integers, and Booleans at the moment) and running them through our special black-box to find methods that match that behavior. For example, a user may enter "foo.txt" as an input, and "foo" as the output to search for code that removes file extension.
A prototype running on a single laptop with a small database has been shown to work and deliver results better than Google! So Dr. Stolee is now working with a Senior Design Team at Iowa State to build out a scalable platform for Satsy as their capstone project.
