This document will be available for review and comment by the public in late February, 1990. A public forum will be held April 3-5, 1990, to obtain input from the public on the draft document. The DoD Software Master Plan provides a consolidated approach for addressing the challenges presented to the DoD today by the escalating development, utilization and cost of software in our Defense systems. The document is organized into four major sections corresponding to the following mechanisms available to the DoD to effect the process and characteristics of software: (1) Software acquisition and life cycle management; (2) DoD software policies and standards; (3) Personnel; and (4) Software technology base and transition. For each of these mechanisms, the related problem areas are addressed, goals are identified, and specific actions that are required to accomplish those goals are enumerated. A DoD Software Master Plan Public Forum will be held April 3-5, 1990, at the Ramada Hotel - Tysons Corner at 7801 Leesburg Pike in Falls Church, Virginia.
