Jean-Luc Picard was the captain of the USS Enterprise spaceship in the 1980s TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was
the sequel of the 1960s series Star Trek. In a metaphorical manner,
the previously developed GL application framework, which was
evaluated in this study, is called Picard because it is the next generation of “Spock”—the previous generation GL application tool of
our lab [19].
