Simplex Architecture: Meeting the Challenges of Using COTS in High-Reliability Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the end of the cold war and the downsizing of military budgets, it has been more important than ever that mission-critical systems be reliable, affordable, and capable of evolving to prevent obsolescence. Furthermore, as operational software systems play a more critical role in both military and non-military applications, the need for dependability in all software systems is increasing. In this paper, we review a new combination of existing technologies that can meet these challenges.

Simplex Architecture: Meeting the Challenges of Using COTS in High-Reliability Systems
April 1998 The Challenges To cut costs and gain leverage from technical advances in the commercial sector, the Department of Defense (DoD) has actively encouraged the more frequent use of commercial-offthe-shelf (COTS) components in its software systems. This DoD mandate challenges systems developers to integrate COTS components into systems without compromising the strict reliability and avail...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Impact of Change in COTS-Based Systems
The use of commercial off-the-shelf software components (COTS) promises significant advances in terms of greater productivity, reduced time to market and reliability. However, the blackbox nature of these components poses equally significant challenges for managing maintenance, future change to component-based systems and in particular the impact of proposed changes. Unless these challenges are...
متن کاملImpact of Lead-free Components and Technology Scaling for High Reliability Applications
Semiconductor technology is increasingly meeting the demands and challenges posed by roadmaps such as ITRS in terms of technology scaling and packaging, where the interconnect size is decreasing to ever smaller dimensions. The drive for this is increasing functionality of the devices and is governed primarily by the consumer electronics markets. For applications in high reliability sectors such...
متن کاملAnalysing the Impact of Change in COTS-Based Systems
Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components promise benefits in terms of greater productivity, reduced time to market and reliability. However, their blackbox nature poses significant challenges assessing and managing the impact of change. We propose an approach to help developers to understand the impact of change. It relies on the use of a COTS componentoriented development process an...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Multi-Layer Fault-Tolerant COTS Architecture for Deep Space Missions
Fault-tolerant systems are traditionally divided into fault containment regions and custom logic is added to ensure the effects of a fault within a containment region would not propagate to the other regions. This technique may not be applicable in a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) based system. While COTS technology is attractive due to its low cost, they are not developed with the same level ...
