Abstract

FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has worked beyond the leading edge to ensure that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is prepared to respond with new software capabilities to warfighter needs before they appear on the horizon.

Yesterday and today, the SEI shows that it both anticipates and responds to DoD challenges efficiently, effectively, and thoroughly through excellence in research, development, and deployment (RD&D) and technology transition practices.

This book offers snapshots of the culture of innovation at the SEI from 1988 to 2025 as our researchers and engineers have worked to advance software for national security.
