Hey Gambit...

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

you ever work on any DoD software stuff?<br><br>I'm looking for specs and standards to apply to a software project at work. I've got almost all the applicable hardware stuff down. But I can't find any freely available info on IEEE/IEA 12207 (which replaces MIL-STD-49<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .<br><br>Any ideas?<br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub141.ezboard.com/bxmenclan.sho ... andtm>XMEN Ashaman DTM</A>&nbsp; <IMG SRC="http://theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/xmen.gif" BORDER=0> at: 5/2/03 12:48:51 pm<br></i>

No, never did DoD. Wouldn't mind doing so, though, and I have an application in at Lockheed. Just wish they'd call me back. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>But let's see...<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.itq.ch/pdf/MB-ISO-IEC_12207. ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> (an overview in German, which you could run through a translator)<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.a2la.org/pdfs/adequate_for_u ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/archiv ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.univ-tlse1.fr/UFRinfo/Geniel ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>And this isn't directly related, but I found it an interesting little article on software architecture methods.<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.agiledata.org/essays/evoluti ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

Well... I'm looking more for the standards document itself. The reason that I am having such a hard time finding it, is that it's not publicly available. You have to pay a buttload of money to get it. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I wish DoD had kept using MIL-STD's... at least you could find and download them for free. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub141.ezboard.com/bxmenclan.sho ... andtm>XMEN Ashaman DTM</A>&nbsp; <IMG SRC="http://theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/xmen.gif" BORDER=0> at: 5/2/03 12:43:44 pm<br></i>

Send an email to Rudejelly, he worked for Lockheed and Vought. He may have some experience in the software you are looking for. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

A buttload of money? During my original I found a site in French where you could download it for like 44 (francs? euros? dollars? wasn't sure). The site was in French but the doc itself was English. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

Sorry Asha,<br><br>I haven't worked for a defense contractor in some years. I left Lockheed in early 1996. Even when I was there, I had very little to do with MIL-STD documents. I was just a little ole system administrator and network manager in a supporting/overhead cost center. I wasn't one of the hot-shot software engineers actually working on the weapon's systems that we developed and manufactured.<br><br>I wish I could help. It looks like IEEE and ISO, etc. have the market for their standards all sewn up. I couldn't find it anywhere without a big price tag. I guess that's how they recoup some of their publication and website costs.<br><br>If you were an IEEE member, you might have more luck. If you aren't, then you should be. It seems like you're in a field of work where IEEE membership would be a benefit to you. (not to mention you can get good group heath insurance through them) <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Gambit, I've been looking everywhrere for you. Now that you're here, I challenge you to a battle on the "Challenge the X-men" message boards. Do you accept? <p></p><i></i>
