     1.4  While \isac{}'s internal user session management has now been parallelized, multiple user GUIs communicate with the same standard input stream on the \textit{Standard ML} side and this communication is unsynchronized. The mathematic engine writes to one single standard output stream. The write operation in use is provided and synchronized by \isabelle. However, since all GUIs read from the same stream, they need to filter out all messages not meant for them and thus waste resources, especially with growing numbers of simultaneous user sessions. The next important step is therefore a more flexible, efficient and robust communication model which would then allow the parallel session management to be stressed and also fine-tuned to perform well in practice.
     1.5  Other improvements to \isac{} include utilizing of \isabelle{}'s function package and code generator to simplify and speedup \isac{}'s programming language, adaptation of \isabelle{}'s capabilities with respect to floating point numbers and complex numbers, possibly adopt term nets for better performance of \isac{}'s rewrite engine.  The latter plans for improvement of the mathematics-engine can be pursued independently from work on the front-end due to a stable interface in between. While \isac{}'s own front-end will be extended and improved, future development of the \textit{Isabelle/jEdit} IDE may enable \isac{} to adopt it as its front-end in the long run.

     1.7 -The whole case study involved deeply invasive refactoring processes. The presence auf automatic tools for this kind of tasks in \textit{Standard ML} would have been desireable. While there has been related work on \textit{Haskell} \cite{brown2012paraforming,thompson2005refactoring,dig2011refactoring,li2006comparative} and \textit{Erlang} \cite{brown2013cost,li2006comparative}, there are, to my knowledge, no such projects specificly for \textit{Standard ML} available. These could also help remove unused code and support convenient restructuring of modules.
