Software Engineering Bibliographic (SEB) Database
The Software Engineering Bibliographic (SEB) database,
established by the DACS around 1980, provides comprehensive metadata for literature
(books, journal articles, magazines, technical reports, research papers, proceedings, etc.)
about software engineering and technology topics. The documents described relate to
software engineering, reliability, costs, quality factors, maintainability, and
other appropriate topics. The database contains documents ranging from as early
as 1958 to the present date. The referenced resources come from the DoD organizations,
academic institutions, professional societies, not-for-profit organizations
and the commercial organizations developing software or providing software
related services.
References in the SEB database include a unique data
accession number (DAN), a bibliographic citation (title, author, publication,
date, index terms [keywords]), and an abstract. Citations are provided for
information only. Documents cited in this database can NOT be acquired from
the DACS unless the DACS is identified as the source. Please order them from
the sources provided or contact the DACS for assistance in locating the documents.
What's new in the SEB
New additions are always being added to the SEB database. The following
is a list of the five most recent additions.

How to search the SEB Database
You can use the web search tool, provided on this page, to conduct a
search and view the resulting citations and abstracts in your browser. There are two basic search
functions as follows:
Keyword/Year Search Tab - You can do a subject matter search by using
various combinations of key words (your own) and publication year. Keywords are sometimes
phrases, such as SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS, or CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT.
Author/Title Search Tab - You can also search for citations using a
combination of title, author and publication year.
The wild card (*) can be used in any of the keyword, title, and author fields to
customize your search. For example, entering *architecture will identify citations
with several other key words such as software architecture, system architecture and
instruction set architecture. Entering Johnson, A* in the author field will find
Amy, Allen and Albert Johnson among others. Spaces are treated as characters.
Thus Johnson,A* will yield different results than Johnson, A*. The search is
not case sensitive.
When using And and Or note that the search
engine does not separate the individual words that comprise a keyword.
For example:
REQUIREMENTS (443) And SOFTWARE(28) yields 0 results
REQUIREMENTS (443) Or SOFTWARE(28) yields 471 results
Searching on SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS yields 7 results
You must use the wild card for desired flexibility.
