The theme will be Information Dominance Through Software Technology. The United States Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps have again joined forces to present STC '97, the premier software technology conference in the Department of Defense. STC management has announced that Lt. Gen. Albert J. Edmonds, Defense Information Systems Agency, has joined the other official co-sponsors of STC as a co-sponsor this year. Among the numerous topics to be discussed this year are Object-Oriented Technology, Reuse, DoD Software Policies, and Ada.

During the course of the development process, several guidelines were developed that greatly increased the reusability of the code. Thirteen organizations within the DoD now use the reuse library for a wide range of applications. The USAF and Army's Air-Ground-Air Frequency Engineering System (AGAFES) is one of these programs and it obtained 66 percent reuse and attending cost savings of close to $1 million. For further details, contact PM-JTACS at DSN 992-3110 or visit the Reuse Library home page at . SOURCE: R. Kirsch, S. Millender, and G. Wagner, "Design of Reusable Components: A Success Story."
