6: Software Design and Productivity (SDP)

SDP R&D will lead to fundamental advances in concepts, methods, techniques, and tools for software design, development, and maintenance that can address the widening gap between the needs of Federal agencies and society for usable, dependable software-based systems and the ability to produce them in a timely, predictable, and cost-effective manner.

Other Information:

The SDP R&D agenda spans both the engineering components of software creation (e.g., development environments, component technologies, languages, tools, system software) and the business side of software management (e.g., project management, schedule estimation and prediction, testing, document management systems) across diverse domains that include sensor networks, embedded systems, autonomous software, and highly complex, interconnected systems of systems.
