Lessons Learned in Developing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Intensive Software Systems
This paper addresses the recent trend of increased COTS use in the National Airspace System (NAS). While the term COTS refers to both hardware and software, the lessons learned reported in this paper are primarily focused on software. It should be noted that this paper is intended to be the first of several papers on the subject and that future publications will include the entire genre of COTS usage.

Identifying Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Product Risks: The COTS Usage Risk Evaluation
The expansion in use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products has been accompanied by an increase in program failures. Many of these failures have been due to a lack of familiarity with the changed approach that COTS products demand. This report describes the development of an approach to reduce the number of program failures attributable to COTS software: the COTS Usage Risk Evaluation (CURE).
