Federally Funded Research & Development Center
(FFRDC)
R&D laboratories:
Fill voids where in-house and private sector R&D centers
are unable to meet DoD core area needs. Objectives for
these FFRDC are to:
h FFRDCs
(1) maintain long-term competency in technology areas
where the Government cannot rely on in-house or private
sector capabilities
(2) develop and transfer important new technology to
the private sector so the Government can benefit from
p
a wider, broader base of expertise. R&D laboratories
engage in research programs that emphasize the
evolution and demonstration of advanced concepts and
technology, and the transfer or transition of
technology.

Changing the World of Software Engineering
Leadership role on ISO Software & Systems engineering standard;
SEI contributed CERT C Secure Coding Guidelines to ISO for their
use in creating new standards.
CERT Secure Coding standard is basis for the SANS Global
Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) Secure Software
Programmer-C (GSSP-C) exam and certifications
Advancing the standard for software quality with TSP
• Adobe: first product update to have zero defects in system test
• Softtek: zero defects in 2 large systems after user acceptance test
New TSP applications for IT Services, architecture with ACE, and
secure software development with CERT
Leadership, stewardship, and evolution of maturity models
