The BKCASE project, and the SEBoK in particular, is an immense undertaking. This task could not have been completed without the support and contributions of many individuals and organizations. We could not possibly have gotten this far without those listed below. We sincerely thank our sponsor, authors, partners, and reviewers.
With gratitude,
Sponsor
The Department of Defense recognizes the importance of BKCASE to its own workforce development and has offered substantial financial support and partnership to the project. The office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering (DASD/SE) is the primary Department of Defense sponsor for BKCASE. DASD/SE has graciously provided much of the funding for the BKCASE project through their Systems Engineering Research Center. Those funds primarily pay for the time spent by the BKCASE leadership, enables the many volunteer authors to conduct quarterly physical workshops, and provides for the technical and administrative infrastructure to conduct such a complex distributed project. DASD/SE does not determine the content of the SEBoK, but instead allows the author team and the community to determine what the SEBoK should contain. Without this support, this project would not be possible. Special thanks go to Stephen Welby, Kristen Baldwin, Nicholas Torelli, Don Gelosh, and Scott Lucero.
The remaining two thirds of the project cost were donations in kind by our partners for the labor and travel support of their authors. We gratefully acknowledge their contributions.
Part Team Leads
An individual volunteered to lead a team of authors for each of the Parts identified for the SEBoK (see SEBoK Table of Contents). We would like to thank each of these individuals for their time, dedication, and leadership. In addition, a member of the core team supported each of the part team leads.
- Part 1 - Barry Boehm with support from Art Pyster
- Part 2 - Richard Adcock with support from Nicole Hutchison
- Part 3 - Garry Roedler with support from Jim Anthony
- Part 4 - Harold (Bud) Lawson with support from Dave Olwell
- Part 5 - Art Pyster with support from Alice Squires
- Part 6 - David H. Olwell with support from Art Pyster
- Part 7 - Heidi Davidz with support from Alice Squires
Authors
As a primarily volunteer effort, BKCASE depends on dozens of authors from around the world to provide their own time and expenses. Each of the individuals listed below has worked many hours to develop and improve SEBoK 0.75, and without each of them, it would have been impossible to get this far. Many of them have been supported by their organizations during this effort, including support for travel and labor, and we also gratefully acknowledge the organizational contribution.
