The workshop was structured to gather inputs and insights from the commercial and military software and system development communities looking at the current and future challenges that surround engineering uncertainty, system complexity, and scale. The purpose of the workshop was to inform the committee as it conducts its study and to stimulate discussion of these issues in the community.

They were invited to examine the range of problems inherent in building large-scale systems and to explore both the current state of software engineering knowledge regarding potential incremental solutions to problems of scale as well as areas where fundamental research is needed to bridge the gap between current practice and the revolutionary challenges offered by future systems. Discussions at the workshop took place with an eye to emerging defense needs but in a way that was receptive to lessons to be gleaned from commercial and enterprise-level efforts.

Presenters' views varied, depending on their own experiences and expertise; some speakers provided detailed information while others offered higher-level, more abstract presentations. For these reasons and because some of the discussion amounted to brainstorming, this summary may contain internal inconsistencies that reflect the wide range of views offered by the speakers and other participants.
