Software Engineering Environments for Mission Critical Applications -- STARS Alternative Programmatic Approaches.
Abstract
Central to the STARS (Software Technology for Adaptable and Reliable Systems) Program is automated software engineering environment(s) (SEE) to provide software development and in-service support for DoD systems with mission critical computer resources (MCCR). This paper briefly describes seven previously proposed alternatives for producing SEEs in the near-, mid-, and long-terms and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. It reviews some key issues for selecting alternatives or combinations of alternatives including DoD's needs, the available technical opportunities and choices, the means used to obtain environment(s), and the costs. This paper also makes recommendations for STARS decision making, suggesting an exploration and decision process as well as a number of possible activities. In depth descriptions of the seven previously proposed alternatives appear in an Appendix.
