Rome Laboratory's (RL) Software Engineering Branch is searching for charter members of the Requirements Engineering Technology Transfer Consortium (RETTC). RL invites system and software development organizations to submit an application describing their interest in promoting the usage and refinement of the Requirements Engineering Environment (REE), a rapid prototyping environment for software and system requirements elicitation, specification, and validation.

The REE has evolved over the past five years and been used on several programs ranging from mission critical DoD applications to non-DoD business applications. Sample applications include:

• Theatre Missile Defense Battle Management C3I Architecture Studies
• Navy Command and Control Subsystem Requirements Validation and Network Performance Studies
• User Interface Modeling, and
• Business Process and Transaction-Based Systems Modeling.

Consortium members will receive, at no cost, a copy of the REE, consultation, training courses, and REE technical support. In return, RETTC members shall:

• Apply the REE to a real-world problem and provide feedback to RL regarding the REE's capabilities, and suggestions for improvement, and
• Enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Rome Laboratory.

Initial correspondence and communication will permit RL to determine whether membership in the RETTC would be of value to the prospective participant.

Additional information on the REE and RETTC participation requirements is available from:
