Software Engineering Institute (SEI)
Abstract
The SEI Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) was established in 1984 as an integral part of the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) initiative to identify, evaluate, and transition software engineering technologies and practices. The SEI maintains unique software research and program support capabilities in a space where the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and academia cannot as readily address challenges. The mission of the SEI is to provide DoD with technical leadership and innovation through research and development to advance the practice of software engineering and technology. The Institute works across Government, industry, and academia to improve the state of software engineering from the technical, acquisition, and management perspectives. The SEI engages in research and development of critical software technologies and tools, and collaborates with the larger software engineering research community. It facilitates rapid transition of software engineering technologies into practice, and evaluates emerging software engineering technologies to determine their potential for improving 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, software architectures, and software-engineering process management. To enhance the SEI’s role as a Research and Development FFRDC, the Department has created a new PE: SEI Applied Research, 0602751D8Z, beginning in FY 2014. The reduction in P781 in this PE beginning in FY 2014 is offset by the creation of the SEI Applied Research PE. The Department is splitting funding for research at the SEI FFRDC across these two PEs to address both longer-term challenges in software technology and engineering (0602751D8Z) and to continue to benefit from the proven experience the SEI FFRDC has with developing and transitioning advanced technology (0603781D8Z, P781).
