News at SEI Spring 2000

In this issue, we offer an example of this impact. “Putting the Team Software Process into Practice” presents TSP results and SEI plans for encouraging organizations to adopt TSP. Also in this issue, “Component-Based Systems” describes a new book by SEI staff members. In “Countering the Threat of Internet Denial of Service Attacks,” we describe the SEI’s efforts to help organizations recognize and recover from the kinds of attacks that recently affected several large e-commerce sites. Finally, “Probing Product Line Practices” describes a diagnostic tool for examining an organization’s readiness to adopt the product line approach.
