Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Applied Research

Abstract

Software is a key to meeting the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) increasing demand for high-quality, affordable, and timely national defense systems. With growing global parity in software engineering, the DoD must maintain leadership to avoid strategic surprise. To assist the DoD in retaining a long-term differential advantage over potential adversaries, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Applied Research PE seeks to establish a program of applied research that will develop and evaluate the feasibility and practicality of software and computer science concepts with the potential to improve current and future DoD systems. Work conducted under this PE will enable resilient mission assurance in heterogeneous and contested environments through the verification and validation of system performance and architecture. The program will also assist the DoD in retaining a long-term differential advantage in the areas of software-intensive systems and cybersecurity by enhancing assurance, exploiting automation, and understanding human-computer interaction. The SEI Applied Research PE has two main research thrusts with known military applications: 1) Software Engineering, Systems Verification and Validation, and Mission Assurance (formerly Mission Assurance) and 2) Information Assurance and Cyber Security.
