USC Center for Software Engineering
and CeBASEC-CSE
The 21st century may well be called "the software century."
Organizations competing in product lines, services, or national
defense will find that the excellence of their software engineering
efforts will be one of their most critical success factors.
To that end, the USC Center for Software Engineering (USC-CSE)
focuses its research and teaching efforts toward helping industry
and government address multiple new challenges of concern to
software system procurers, developers, and users. Our research
programs address such areas as software architectures; groupware
support of concurrent requirements and architecture definition;
application generators; software understanding and reengineering;
new software and system development and evolution processes;
and new software economics models and methods, including emerging
techniques such as RAD and COTS-based development. We work in
partnership with the members of our Affiliates' Program, which
includes some two dozen organizations representing a mix of
commercial industry, aerospace, government, nonprofit FFRDCs,
and consortia. We also work on COTS-based systems through our
co-leadership with the University of Maryland of the NSF-sponsored
Center for Empirically-Based Software Engineering (CeBASE).
