Brownstein - CNS-0541636Advancing Software ProducibilityThis National Academies study is supported by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and conducted under the oversight of the National Science Foundation. The study will bring together academic and industry researchers, software and software tool vendors, and DoD system integrators to assess the emerging situation with respect to the national investment in and organization of software research, the state of the tools available to the DoD development and user communities, and the human resource and economic issues for the future. Today's successes with information technology derive from historic investments in software research and development, which resulted in the methods, tools and skill base for creating, using, and maintaining today's civilian and military software systems. Yet the software development process is under stress in both civilian and military arenas. Software is a critical component of success for defense systems. Software-intensive systems are enabling unparalleled military readiness and war-fighting capability. Demands on military software are expected to grow, based on military strategy and planning expectations that tomorrow's software-based systems will continue to further extend existing military capabilities and enable wholly new ones. Increasingly demanding requirements, significant consequences for software failures, and growth in size and complexity all magnify the inadequacy of existing engineering tools and methods. This affects cost, timely deployment, and the functional adequacy of weapons systems. This study will assess new requirements for software research for emerging weapons systems, including the development of models, tools, and approaches for testing and using them throughout the software systems lifecycle, from research through development to maintenance of deployed systems. The primary focus of the study will be on military software, but much of what is learned will be applicable to non-military government and private sector contexts as well, where issues of human resources, cost, timely deployment, reliability, security, and maintainability are persistent challenges in our increasingly information technology-dependent world.The study group will make recommendations to responsible agency, executive branch and legislative officials, and to the broader software community, about how to improve the present state of affairs and achieve future goals.

Brownstein - CNS-0541636 提高软件生产力这项国家科学院研究得到了国防部长办公室的支持，并在国家科学基金会的监督下进行。 该研究将汇集学术和行业研究人员、软件和软件工具供应商以及国防部系统集成商，以评估国家对软件研究的投资和组织、国防部开发和用户社区可用工具的状况以及未来的人力资源和经济问题方面的新形势。 当今信息技术的成功源于对软件研究和开发的历史性投资，这些投资产生了创建、使用和维护当今民用和军用软件系统的方法、工具和技能基础。然而，软件开发过程在民用和军事领域都面临着压力。软件是防御系统成功的关键组成部分。软件密集型系统正在实现无与伦比的军事战备和作战能力。基于军事战略和规划预期，对军事软件的需求预计将会增长，即未来基于软件的系统将继续进一步扩展现有的军事能力并实现全新的军事能力。日益苛刻的要求、软件故障的严重后果以及规模和复杂性的增长都放大了现有工程工具和方法的不足。 这会影响武器系统的成本、及时部署和功能充分性。 这项研究将评估新兴武器系统软件研究的新要求，包括模型、工具的开发以及在整个软件系统生命周期（从研究到开发到已部署系统的维护）中测试和使用它们的方法的开发。 该研究的主要重点将是军事软件，但所学到的大部分内容也适用于非军事政府和私营部门的环境，在这些环境中，人力资源、成本、及时部署、可靠性、安全性和可维护性问题是我们日益依赖信息技术的世界中持续存在的挑战。研究小组将向负责机构、行政部门和立法官员以及更广泛的软件界提出有关如何改善当前状况并实现未来目标的建议。
