BA in its 176th year. The British Association for the Advancement of Science first met here in York on September the 27th, 1831. During that meeting David Brewster, the Editor of the Edinburgh Journal of Science, and William Harcourt, the Chairman of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, formally proposed the foundation of, I quote: "a British Association for the Advancement of science having for its objects to give a stronger and more systematic direction to scientific inquiry, to obtain a greater degree of national attention to the objects of science and a removal of those disadvantages which impede its progress and to promote the intercourse of the cultivators of science with one another and with foreign philosophers.” Since then, there has been a meeting every year, except in warti   [More...] [Less...]

  http://www.stsc.hill.af.mil/crosstalk/2007/10/0710BoehmLane.html

  Using the Incremental Commitment Model to Integrate System Acquisition, Systems Engineering, and Software Engineering Barry Boehm, Ph.D., University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software ... Engineering Jo Ann Lane, University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering One of the top recommendations to emerge from the October 2006 Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (DUSD) Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (ATL) Defense Software Strategy Summit was to find ways of better integrating software engineering into the systems engineering and acquisition process. Concurrently, the National Research Council (NRC) study was addressing the problem of better integrating human factors into the systems engineering and acquisition process. This article presents a model that emerged from these and related efforts that shows promise of improving integrations. This model, called the Incremental Commitment Model (ICM), organizes systems engineering and acquisit   [More...] [Less...]
