The USAF software technology support center: Repository of software reengineering information

  • Published:
Journal of Systems Integration

Abstract

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) created the Software Technology Support Center (STSC) at Hill AFB, Utah to enable Air Force software engineering organizations to identify, evaluate, and adopt technologies that will improve their software production. As part of this mission, the STSC collects detailed information about software tools and solicits frank assessments from tool users. Then, as a free service, the STSC provides a customized tools list to anyone within the United States, based on a user's requirements (e.g. hardware platform, operating system, etc.). This article will discuss the STSC's functional goal to act as a central repository of software information with an emphasis on the software reengineering technology domain.
