Dr. Barry Boehm founded the Center for Software
Engineering (CSE) in 1993. It provides an environment for
research and teaching large-scale software design and development
processes, generic and domain-specific software
architectures, software engineering tools and environments,
cooperative system design, and the economics of software
engineering. One of CSE's main goals is to research and
develop software technologies that can help reduce cost,
customize designs, and improve design quality by doing
concurrent software and systems engineering.

knowledge, promote collaboration in systems engineering,
establish integrity in systems engineering standards,
and encourage research and educational support to
improve the systems engineering process and its practices.
