Report of Findings and Recommendations--Software Engineering Institute Study Panel

摘要

The Software Engineering Institute Study Panel (SEISP) was put together to form an independent assessment of the proposed, Strategy for the Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) Program which recommended the establishment of a Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to bridge the gap between R&D activities that demonstrate new techniques and the exploitation of those techniques in system developments in order to effect a significant and rapid improvement in the means of development and support of computer software for mission-critical defense systems. The first and most important conclusion of the Panel is that a Software Engineering Institute is essential to achieving STARS goals and must be established with the greatest possible speed.
