The common goal of the SEI and Addison-Wesley is to provide the most current information on these topics in a form that is easily usable by practitioners and students. Books in the series describe frameworks, tools, methods, and technologies designed to help organizations, teams, and individuals improve their technical or management capabilities. Some books describe processes and practices for developing higher-quality software, acquiring programs for complex systems, or delivering services more effectively. Other books focus on software and system architecture and product-line development. Still others, from the SEI’s CERT Program, describe technologies and practices needed to manage software and network security risk. These and all books in the series address critical problems in software engineering for which practical solutions are available.

You only needed to be in a room with Watts Humphrey a short time to real- ize what a special person he was. Watts’ leadership, vision, and insights helped many over his lifetime. He was a student of learn- ing and he shared that quest for learning with everyone with whom he came into contact. He had a vision that he shared with the world and the world became a better place.

Distribution is limited by the Software Engineering Institute to attendees. The CERT® Coordination Center (CERT/CC) was created in November 1988 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the aftermath of an Internet Worm incident. The CERT/CC is located at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI). The SEI is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics [OUSD (AT&L)]. The mission of the CERT/CC is to • act as a coordination center, • foster collaboration across the network community to achieve effective incident response, • assist other organizations in forming response teams, and • conduct research and analysis of incident trends. Parts of this work were derived from work originally sponsored by the U.S. Army Land Information Warfare Activity (LIWA) and the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
