NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS ARE PROPOSED TO FOLLOW THE FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF JUPITER AND OTHER GIANT PLANETS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM STARTING AT AN EARLY TIME WHEN THE PLANET IS FORMING IN THE SOLAR NEBULA AND ENDING AT THE PRESENT TIME 4.57 BILLION YEARS LATER. IN THE CASE OF JUPITER THE GOAL IS TO RESOLVE THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE END RESULT OF CURRENT FORMATION MODELS AND THE DEDUCED STRUCTURE OF PRESENT JUPITER AS DETERMINED FROM MEASUREMENTS MADE BY THE JUNO SPACE MISSION.
