J.A. Hamilton, Jr. discuss the mission of the DISA's Center for Computer Systems Engineering (CFCSE) in the November 1997 issue of Crosstalk. They assert that the CFCSE is striving for software interoperability through open systems, and integration of diverse systems requires open architectures. DISA's efforts to achieve "jointness" involve creating a common operating environment, common software applications, and a common programming language. At a minimum, this common platform will support the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) and the Global Combat Support System (GCSS); it is also being designed to provide robust interfaces for future additions to the system.

The goal of ASSET '98 is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of software engineering as it applies to software development in telecommunications, real-time embedded systems and business information systems. The workshop aims to improve the dialog between industry and academia by providing a forum for state-of-the-art research and practice.
