Software Engineering Institute (SEI)

Abstract

The SEI FFRDC was established in 1984 as an integral part of the DoD’s initiative to identify, evaluate, and transition high-leverage software engineering technologies and practices. The SEI grows unique software research and program support capability in a space where the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and academia cannot as readily address challenges. The mission of the SEI is to provide technical leadership and innovation through research and development to advance the practice of software engineering and technology in support of DoD needs. The Center works across government, industry, and academia to improve the state of software engineering from technical, acquisition, and management perspectives; engages in applied research and development of critical software technologies and tools, and collaborates with the larger software engineering research community; facilitates rapid, value-added transition of software engineering technologies into practice; and evaluates and calibrates emerging software engineering technologies to determine their potential for improving the development and evolution of software-intensive DoD systems. Since its inception, the SEI has helped to transform the fields of software engineering and acquisition, network security, real-time systems and software/system architecture and construction, and software engineering process management.
