Happy Memorial Day. As part of an ongoing effort
to keep you informed about our latest work, I'd like to let you know
about some recently published SEI technical reports and notes. These
reports highlight the latest work of SEI technologists in architecture analysis, patterns for insider threat monitoring, source code analysis and insider threat security reference architecture.
This post includes a listing of each report, author(s), and links where
the published reports can be accessed on the SEI website.

New acquisition guidelines
from the Department of Defense (DoD) aimed at reducing system lifecycle
time and effort is encouraging the adoption of Agile methods. There is a
general lack, however, of practical guidance on how to employ Agile methods
effectively for DoD acquisition programs. This blog posting describes
our research on providing software and systems architects with a
decision making framework for reducing integration risk with Agile
methods, thereby reducing the time and resources needed for related
work.

Many DoD computing systems—particularly cyber-physical systems—are subject to stringent size, weight, and power requirements. The quantity of sensor readings and functionalities is also increasing, and their associated processing must fulfill real-time requirements. This situation motivates the need for computers with greater processing capacity. For example, to fulfill the requirements of nano-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), developers must choose a computer platform that offers significant processing capacity and use its processing resources to meet its needs for autonomous surveillance missions. This blog post discusses these issues and highlights our research that addresses them.

Software Engineering Measurement and Analysis Initiative
The SEI has been actively engaged in defining and studying high maturity software engineering practices for several years. Levels 4 and 5 of the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration)
are considered high maturity and are predominantly characterized by
quantitative improvement. This blog posting briefly discusses high
maturity and highlights several recent works in the area of high
maturity measurement and analysis, motivated in part by a recent comment on a Jan. 30 post
asking about the latest research in this area. I’ve also included links
where the published research can be accessed on the SEI website.
