 | The Department of Defense (DoD) increasingly faces a mix of relatively foreseeable and unforeseeable threat and opportunity profiles. This means that DoD technological superiority relies on rapid and assured development, fielding, and evolution of progressively more complex and interoperable defense systems. Meeting these challenges requires DoD to design and build an entirely new class of adaptive systems that allow the Department to operate with far greater speed and agility. Mr. ... |

| As systems continue to grow in size and complexity, it has become clear that existing Systems Engineering (SE) methods, processes and tools are becoming increasingly inadequate. The SET project is intended to identify the gaps and bring about the necessary transformation in Systems Engineering to satisfy the needs of the complex system's life cycle. Accomplishing this transformation requires a fundamental rethinking of current SE practices. The SET project is focused ... |

| This report describes the results from the second in a series of related efforts to address systems engineering shortfalls in projects characterized as quick response, network-enabled or emergent. The objectives of this task were to 1) Gather additional information on methods, processes and tools (MPTs) associated with the environment identified in Phase 1 of this work and develop a taxonomy of MPTs identified; 2) Investigate the use of micro-process modeling ... |

| Although made famous by Chrysler's Lee Iaccoca, the phrase was originally a quote from Thomas Paine. The quote strikes a chord with this month's theme of Agile Development. Businesses that just strive to keep up are at great risk of falling behind or, worse, becoming obsolete. On the other hand, businesses that are innovative and continually try to stay ahead tend to thrive. The businesses that are likely to succeed ... |

|
| SUMMARY: * Maturity can only be measured on existing software * For source selection this means COTS, GOTS, NDI, prototype, experimental * Initial set of software product maturity characteristics defined * Maturity evaluation complex - dependent on context and related factors * Agile approaches may make it easier to determine software product maturity. |

 | Software engineering, both as a discipline and as a profession, is at a pivotal point in its evolution. Although software has become critical in the development of most new human-ceated systems, the concepts, principles, and methods for engineering software are still neither well defined nor uniformly agreed upon. The lack of consequences regarding software engineering practice and the requisite competencies creates confusion and ... |

David A. Jared; Richard Turner; Kristina M. Johnson; COLORADO UNIV AT BOULDER DEPT OF ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING
|
| This paper discusses several design and fabrication issues surrounding VLSI, ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) spatial light modulators (SLMs). These SLMs consist of a VLSI CMOS backplane and FLC modulators as shown. The FLC is sandwiched between the CMOS backplane and a sheet of glass coated with a transparent conductor. The design and fabrication issues that are described include: FLC material selection, alignment of the FLC, installation of the glass cover, ... |
