FY86 Year-End Repot for Project 5720 - Software Center General Support
Abstract
This report summarizes the activities of Project 5700, ESD/MITRE software Center General Support, over fiscal year 1986. The Software Center was formed to provide a focus of knowledge and resources within ESD and MITRE to support ESD programs in software acquisition and to address the problems that arise due to software in sytem acquisitions. The long-term goals of the Software Center are to substantially reduced the cost and schedule risks in software acquisition for ESD systems, and to improve the responsiveness of systems to user needs by providing useful capabilities and reliable, maintainable software. To meet these goals, the Software Center must be an acknowledge leader in software acquisition. The goal of Project 5720 is to help the ESD Software Design Center (XRS) to implement ESD-wide improvements in software acquisition practices and to facilitate the use of the most appropriate software engineering technology in the management and the development of software for ESD's C3 systems. Most of the staff who work on Project 5720 also spend time providing direct support to ESD programs. This facilitates the flow of information into Project 5720 on acquisition problems which recur across ESD programs and provides an outflow to programs of information on new technology and new practices.
