The purpose of this forum is to obtain public comment on the draft DoD Software Technology Strategy (SWTS) dated December 1991. This draft, developed through the collaborative efforts of numerous offices and organizations within the DoD and under the auspices of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E), is an integral part of the DDR&E Software Action Plan (SWAP) and the DoD Science and Technology Thrust Area covering Technology for Affordability. The purpose of the SWTS is twofold: (1) to assess DoD software technology needs and (2) to define and justify coordinated DoD science and technology actions and investments that meet the assessed needs. The scope of the Strategy covers the 15-year period of DoD software technology investments from fiscal year (FY)1992 to FY2007. Plans for the first five years are provided in more detail. The Strategy addresses six specific software technology areas: software and systems engineering, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, software for parallel and heterogeneous distributed systems, real-time/fault-tolerant software, and high assurance software. The forum will consist of a general session in which DoD personnel will summarize the key components of the Strategy; smaller, parallel breakout sessions for detailed discussion and comment on the six technology areas; and a closing general session to report on the results of the breakout group sessions. All interested parties are invited to attend; however, because of space limitations, attendance will be limited to the first 500 registrants. There will be a nominal fee associated with the public forum to help defray the cost. To obtain a copy of the SWTS and registration information, please contact Ms. Donna Graham, DoD Software Technology Strategy Open Forum, Institute for Defense Analyses, 1801 N. Beauregard Street, Alexandria, VA 22311-1772, (703) 845-6616, graham@ida.org.
