Government (or government-related) organizations[]

  • The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Information Server is now available. The SEI is a federally funded research and development center operated since 1984 by Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, and is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense through the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). The SEI objective is to provide leadership in software engineering and in the transition of new software engineering technology into practice. The SEI Information Server provides:
    1. information about the SEI and its activities to improve the state of practice of software engineering
    2. information about the ongoing research efforts of the ARPA Software and Intelligent Systems Technology Office (SISTO)
    3. an index of information relating to numerous software and computing top ics
    4. pointers to many other Internet resources
  • The Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) is an organization sponsored by the Flight Dynamic Division (FDD) of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The SEL was created in 1976 to investigate the effectiveness of software engineering technologies as applied to the FDD. The goals of the SEL are to understand the local software development process; to measure the effect of various methodologies, tools, and models on this process; and to identify and then apply successful practices. The SEL is made up of three member organizations: GSFC's Software Engineering Branch (code 552), Computer Sciences Corporations Software Engineering Operation, and the University of Maryland's Computer Science Department.
  • The NASA-funded Repository Based Software Engineering (RBSE) program supports the adoption of software reuse through repository-based software engineering in targeted sectors of industry, government, and academia. The program provides a repository that: facilitates the selection, acquisition, integration, and reuse of software components; provides proven architectures upon which to assemble systems; and promotes common software engineering practices and standards.
  • The NASA Software IV&V Facility identifies and develops new software oriented technologies useful to both the government and the commercial sector. The basis for identifing these new technologies will stem from close ties formed between the NASA Facility, the academic world, and private industry.
  • The Software Engineering Laboratory ([http://wwwsel.iit.nrc.ca/indice.html Laboratoire de g�nie logiciel]) of the National Research Council of Canada's Institute for Information Technology performs research and development in software engineering, with the objective of developing tools and techniques that will assist Canadian companies, whose principal product is software, in improving their processes and products. The laboratory currently has three major program areas: Realtime and Embedded Systems (including the Harmony operating system project and publications on software configuration management), Commercial Software Products and Large-scale Systems. Additional publications, from all three research programs, will soon be available on the server.
  • The European Software Institute is a major industry initiative, founded by leading European companies, to improve the competitiveness of the European Software Industry, including both suppliers and users. To this end, ESI promotes and disseminates good software management practice. The European Software Institute is supported by the Commission and the Basque Government.

Industrial organizations[]

  • The Arizona Software Association is dedicated to "promoting the growth, prosperity and recognition of a world class software industry in Arizona." Founded in June 1991 by a group of Arizona software executives, entrepreneurs and providers of professional services, the ASA currently has a membership of over 300 corporations and individuals. ASA members include representatives from large and small software companies, including company CEO's, R&D vice presidents, marketing directors, sales managers and programmers. Members also include service providers such as venture capitalists, technology specialists, hardware manufacturers, software and marketing consultants, packaging and distribution firms, accountants, lawyers, telemarketers, graphic designers, advertising agencies and training companies.
  • The Center for Software Development is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote the growth of software companies. The Software Entrepreneurs Forum, the City of San Jose, and Novell, Inc. founded The Center. It acts as a catalyst between the key facets of the software industry ...software developers, hardware and software vendors, and service providers. The Center provides self-service test labs, events, and an Industry Resource Library.
  • Reasoning Systems — Software engineers use Reasoning's products and services to analyze, redocument, and convert existing software systems. Reasoning licenses REFINE Language Tools, a family of extensible shrink-wrapped reengineering and software quality assurance tools for Ada, C, COBOL and FORTRAN. Reasoning also licenses Software Refinery, a development environment for building reengineering, quality assurance and maintenance tools. Reasoning provides training and consulting services to help clients build custom software tools. Technical papers is a bibliography of Software Refinery applications.
  • Leverage Technologists — is a Maryland based company specializing in software reverse engineering, reengineering, and maintenance. Leverage provides a wide range of tools, educational services, consulting , custom application development. Additionally, Leverage Technologists is a Value Added Reseller(VAR) for Reasoning Systems, Inc.
  • The Software Engineering Research Centre (SERC), located in the Netherlands, is a platform for applied scientific research in the area of software-engineering. The existence of SERC is one the one hand motivated by the immediate existing and potential demand for independent and bjective research on software-engineering in the market and on the other hand by the available means for fundamental research in the academic world.
  • Century Computing (Laurel, MD) — The TAE Plus Motif GUI Development Tool supports rapid prototyping and operational systems. Developed for both programmers and non-programmers. Provides Dynamic Data Objects for data display and direct manipulation. Generates C, C++, Ada and UIL.
  • ILOG develops and markets software development tools for object-oriented applications.
