Doug Schmidt As part of an ongoing effort to keep you informed about the latest work of SEI technologists, I will keep you apprised of SEI-related work that’s published each month as SEI technical reports and notes. This post includes a listing of each report, author/s, and links where reports published in March can be accessed on the SEI website.  The first report, A Framework for Evaluating Common Operating Environments, is based on a recent SEI blog posting and is an area I’m actively working on at the SEI.  As always, we welcome your feedback on our work.
