|
 | IDA conducted a case study of the Navy's F/A-18E/F program to document lessons learned from a DoD program using advanced acquisition and development methods. The prime contractor, McDonnell Douglas Corporation (MDC), used the Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) management philosophy to design and produce the F/A-18E/F tactical aircraft. Five concepts are key to IPPD: (1) customer focus, (2) concurrent development of processes and products, ... |

|
 | The purposes of this study were to undertake an initial characterization of DoD mission critical software maintenance; to identify policy issues; and to outline the scope and major features of potential new or revised policy. We distinguished among three categories of mission related software. Within a category different organizations may use similar processes; across categories they generally do not. For six specific types of software maintenance, we accounted for about ... |

|
| Establishing and operating software repositories are important elements in the DoD's plan to encourage software reuse. One way to manage such repositories is through a fee-for-service arrangement, which involves charging a fee to the users of the repositories and using the proceeds to reimburse the repository for costs incurred in providing products and services. This paper examines the economic foundations for setting prices for repository products and services that strike ... |

|
| This report evaluates the effectiveness and cost of two alternative Air Force maintenance information systems: CAMS/REMIS and TICARRS. The evaluation considers six dimensions of effectiveness: functionality, scope, operating characteristics, data accuracy and completeness, adaptability, and logistics and operational effectiveness. Each system was found to have shortcomings. CAMS/REMIS suffers from problems in availability, responsiveness, and data integrity, and TICARRS is limited in functionality and scope. IDA considers two alternatives, each one ... |

| Authors:
Waynard C. Devers; Elizabeth K. Bailey; Lee H. Dymond; William A. Florac; Stanley A. Horowitz; INSTITUTE FOR DEFENSE ANALYSES ALEXANDRIA VA
|
| IDA Paper P-2863 reports on a comparison by IDA of two Air Force maintenance information systems. One of the systems is CAMS/REMIS, which combines the Core Automated Management System (CAMS) with the Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS). The other is the Interim CAMS and REMIS Reporting System (TICARRS). Before Paper P-2863 was released in its final version, IDA gave interested parties the opportunity to comment upon it. This document ... |

| Software Effort and Schedule Measurement: A Framework for Counting Staff-Hours and Reporting Schedule Information |
SEP 92 |
|
| Authors:
Wolfhart B. Goethert; Elizabeth K. Bailey; Mary B. Busby; CARNEGIE-MELLON UNIV PITTSBURGH PA SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INST
|
| This report contains guidelines for defining, recording, and reporting staff-hours. In it we develop a framework for describing staff-hour definitions, and use that framework to construct operational methods for reducing misunderstandings in measurement results. We show how to employ the framework to resolve conflicting user needs, and we apply the methods to construct specifications for measuring staff-hours. We also address two different but related aspects of schedule measurement. One aspect ... |

| Authors:
Anita D. Carleton; Robert E. Park; Wolfhart B. Goethert; William A. Florac; Elizabeth K. Bailey; CARNEGIE-MELLON UNIV PITTSBURGH PA SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INST
|
| This report presents our recommendations for a basic set of software measures that Department of Defense (DoD) organizations can use to help plan and manage the acquisition, development, and support of software systems. These recommendations are based on work that was initiated by the Software Metrics Definition Working Group and subsequently extended by the SEI to support the DoD Software Action Plan. The central theme is the use of checklists ... |

| Authors:
Barry W. Boehm; Thomas P. Frazier; Bruce N. Angier; Elizabeth K. Bailey; Kathryn L. Wilson; INSTITUTE FOR DEFENSE ANALYSES ALEXANDRIA VA
|
| The Software Technology Economic Impact Model was developed by IDA for use in analyzing the effect that improvements in software technology have on the total DoD development and maintenance costs of weapon systems. The model displays the costs savings that result from three major sources: work avoidance, working smarter, and working faster. This user's manual gives instructions for installing and starting the model on an IBM or IBM-compatible PC or ... |

| Authors:
Thomas P. Frazier; Bruce N. Angier; Elizabeth K. Bailey; Steven R. Shyman; Jeffrey B. Tate; INSTITUTE FOR DEFENSE ANALYSES ALEXANDRIA VA
|
| This manual describes the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Application Software Size Estimating Tool (DASSET). DASSET consists of a module for software sizing and two commercially available software cost models (SLIM and WICOMO). The software sizing module and the underlying algorithms were developed by the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) for use by DLA to give size estimates (measured in thousands of delivered source lines of code in COBOL or its ... |

| Authors:
Elizabeth K. Bailey; INSTITUTE FOR DEFENSE ANALYSES ALEXANDRIA VA
|
| The purpose of this study is to address human engineering issues as they relate to the Joint Service Software Engineering Environment (JSSEE) and, in the particular, to discuss their impact on the development methodology, supporting tools, and the JSSEE architecture. The purpose is not to address what constitutes 'good' human engineering of an environment except at a very high level, since much of that can only be answered within the ... |
