Abstract

Some DoD programs now require prospective contractors to demonstrate the superiority of their software architectures for new weapons systems. This acquisition policy provides new software engineering challenges that focus heavily on the test and analysis of software architectures in order to determine the "best" architecture in terms of its implementability, affordability, extendability, scalability, adaptability, and maintainability --- not overlooking whether or not it will meet the functional requirements of the system.
