Virtual System Acquisition: Approach and Transitions; Journal article

摘要

There is a pressing need to make software system acquisition more agile and adaptive, through evolutionary modeling, simulation, and development of the system being acquired. Here we'll describe a new vision for the re- tooling and reengineering software system acquisition into a form we call VISTA, denoting an approach to the virtual acquisition of these systems. We will describe this new approach, and then discuss the technical and organizational transitions that must be investigated and managed to ensure the eventual success of such a radical change to software system acquisition.
