... Translating top-level objectives into specific, realistic program goals can be difficult, both for research organizations developing new AEE technologies and systems and for operational organizations planning to insert them into their design and manufacturing processes. One approach to AEE development is to identify areas where improved analytical capabilities are needed, to prioritize improvements in terms of their potential impact on key parameters (e.g., cost, schedule, or risk)

... These models should also integrate the capabilities and knowledge of the electronics and mechanical design communities to produce vehicles that effectively integrate electronics and mechanical systems. Traditional methods of establishing software standards are not working because AEE technologies are advancing rapidly and involve many different organizations.

... The NASA-wide teams directing the Intelligent Synthesis Environment functional initiative should be consolidated and strengthened to improve their ability to perform the following functions: ~7 ~7 · Define distinct AEE requirements and goals for NASA operational and research Centers. Ensure that NASA' s AEE activities take advantage of commercially available tools and systems to avoid duplication of effort.

... If available tools are inadequate, government agencies should consider providing incentives for the development of improved, broadly applicable tools by commercial software vendors instead of developing specialized tools themselves. Government agencies should take the following actions to ADVANCED ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTS support the development of broadly applicable AEE technologies, systems, and practices: Improve generic methodologies and automated tools for integrating existing tools and tools that will be developed in the future.
