The DARPA STARS program is working toward a full SEE, covering all of the
activities of a project and the full life-cycle of its products.  We hope
to have compatible commercial products -- built to support the same set of
recognized standards -- from each of three relatively well-known vendors
(IBM, DEC, Unisys).  All of the modern buzzwords such as "open architecture"
and "domain-specific reuse process model" apply.

However, don't hold your breath.  The one buzz-phrase we don't yet use in
STARS is "real soon now."
