Software Engineering Institute

In 2010, the SEI celebrated a quarter century of leadership, excellence, and growth in software engineering. The SEI Year in Review describes the accomplishments of the SEI during fiscal year 2010 (October 1, 2009, through September 30, 2010). This 25th Anniversary Year in Review highlights a few ways the SEI creates customer solutions across a spectrum of challenges:

• The SEI launched the CERT Resilience Management Model (CERT-RMM), helping organizations improve their ability to carry out their missions while facing a changing risk environment and potential disruptions (see page 8).
• The SEI published the latest version of the Capability Maturity Model Integration—CMMI Version 1.3, a model that is leaner and more efficient, with clearer high-maturity concepts (see page 12).
• SEI researchers explored ways to strengthen agile practices by applying architecture principles—helping agile meet its potential to help reduce the footprint of traditional software offerings and move to providing continuous delivery of new or improved capabilities (see page 15).
• SEI technical staff took their research to the field—and sky—as they explored tactical implications for service-oriented architecture (SOA): operating on a smartphone to access information from tactical assets such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The report also presents information about the SEI, its staff members, and its organization, including publications, demographics, and technology-transition activities.
