Software Engineering Institute

April 13, 2023—The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) yesterday published the 2022 SEI Year in Review, a report spotlighting some of the SEI’s notable projects performed or completed by the end of the 2022 fiscal year. The Year in Review spans the institute’s technical portfolio of research and development in software engineering, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI) at the intersection of government, industry, and academia.

The articles in this year’s edition show how SEI experts advanced software as a strategic advantage for national defense and security. In 2022, the SEI advanced the state of the art in AI engineering, cybersecurity engineering, and software architecture practices, among other areas.

“For our nation’s defense and national security organizations, disruptive technology events and circumstances abound, such as technology advancements and new regulatory mandates,” wrote SEI Director and CEO Paul Nielsen in the Year in Review. “The mission of the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute is to spur transformational impact for our sponsor, the Department of Defense, in the midst of those disruptions.”
