Abstract
This collection of presentations and posters and other material from our Research Review demonstrates our DoD-funded research in the following areas: risk reduction for rapid, affordable software development; creating operational resilience; making the recently possible mission practical; and automating test and evaluation. Among the presentations in the event were brief discussions called "lightning talks"; those short talks are included in this collection.
