Technology Roadmap for a Software Intensive Systems Producibility Initiative (SISPI), Grady Campbell, April 2007

Producibility is the ability to deliver needed capability in a timely, cost-effective, and predictable manner. The Software-Intensive Systems Producibility Initiative (SISPI) is chartered to foster a program of technology research and transition that will improve producibility in the acquisition, development,and sustainment of software-intensive systems (SIS).

To this end, the SISPI is envisioned as a collaboratively funded and directed effort of the U.S. Department of Defense and industry for engagement and coordination of a broad spectrum of university and industrial researchers, software tool vendors and transition agents, and SIS user and support communities. Further, the SISPI will coordinate activities as feasible with other U.S. and international efforts pursuing similar objectives.

In addition to a series of workshops and presentations, the SISPI has developed a notional governance structure and draft technology roadmap. Related Material describes current thinking in these areas.

Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcomed.
