Traditional physical infrastructure increasingly relies upon software. Yet, 75%
of software projects fail in budget by 46% and schedule by 82%. While other
systems generally have a “responsible-in-charge” (RIC) professional, the
implementation of a similar system of accountability in software is not settled.
This is a major concern, as the consequences of software failure can be a matter
of life-or-death. Further, there has been a 742% average annual increase in
software supply chain attacks on increasingly used open-source software over the
past three years, which can cost up to millions of dollars per incident.
Developing the Role of the System Software Integrator to Mitigate Digital
Infrastructure Vulnerabilities discusses the verification, validation,
and uncertainty quantification needed to vet systems before implementation and
the continued maintenance measures required over the lifespan of software-integrated
assets. It also proposes a certified System Software Integrator role that would be
responsible for public safety in traditional infrastructure.
