Hi, Everyone, I gave a presentation at the Southeastern Quality Conference on 30 October 2000 on the Digital Nervous System (DNS) of the Lockheed Martin C-130J Software IPT. Supporting over 60 software engineers, this is an Internet Level 3 website family (5 websites - 3 inside of Lockheed Martin that add up to over 30,000 web pages and 2 outside of Lockheed Martin) that meets the CMM Level 4 needs of the organization. The conference, sponsored by the American Society for Quality, was attended by representatives from many companies in the Southeastern region of the United States, including Lockheed Martin, Delta Airlines, Ford, Ciba Vision, and Motorola. The company interests came from many domains, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. The presentation gave a top-level view of the DNS and presented information on the tools and technologies used to created it so attendees would be able to look into building a similar DNS for themselves. This DNS was built using a combination of technologies, which included Ada and Microsoft intermixed. This presentation was a part of the Software Quality track, which also included a presentation by Mark Paulk (one of the authors of the Software CMM from the SEI) on Process Models. The complimented each other nicely in that Mark spoke of Process Models in theory which I also mentioned the implementation of a Process Model and how much it cost to do this. Unfortunately, the words spoken during our talks are not included in the Conference Report. For those of you who are interested, the report is on the web at: http://unicoi.kennesaw.edu/~rconn/conferences/asq_2000/index.htm This includes copies of both Software Quality track presentations as well as other selected presentations, particularly an excellent one by the VP of Technical Operations for Delta Airlines. In addition, a report on the Microsoft Developer Days 2000 conference, which contains other material related to my presentation, is at: http://unicoi.kennesaw.edu/~rconn/conferences/devdays_2000/index.htm This gives you a lot of background material on the Microsoft technologies I mentioned in my presentation.
