Embedded systems are often subject to real-time constraints. Such systems require determinism to ensure that task deadlines are met. Schedulability analysis provides a firm basis to ensure that tasks meet their deadlines. Knowledge of bounds on worst-case execution times (WCET) of tasks is a critical piece of information required by schedulability analysis. Static timing analysis derives these bounds on WCETs, but requires that bounds on loop iterations be known statically, i.e., at compile time. This often limits the class of applications that may be analyzed by static timing analysis and, hence, used in a real-time system. Another limiting factor for real-time system design is the class of processors that may be used. Typically, modern, complex, processors may not be used in real-time systems design. Contemporary processors with their advanced architectural features, such as out-of-order execution, branch prediction, speculation, and prefetching, cannot be statically analyzed to obtain WCETs for tasks. The main reason is that these features introduce non-determinism to task execution, which can only be resolved at run-time. The contributions of this work are two-fold. First, we show how the constraint concerning statically bound loops may be relaxed and applied to make dynamic decisions at run-time to obtain power savings. Second, we introduce a new paradigm, which proposes minor enhancements to modern processor architectures, which, on interaction with software modules, is able to obtain tight, accurate timing analysis results for modern processors. To the best of our knowledge, these methods of (a) using run-time information to obtain accurate upper bounds for loops and using that information to achieve energy savings, and (b) hardware/software interactions to calculate WCET results for out-of-order processors, are the first of their kind. ©2008 Microsoft Corporation.

The goal of this task was to investigate how formal methods could be incorporated into a software engineering process for flight-control systems under DO-178B and to demonstrate that process by developing a formal specification for NASA's Guidance and Controls Software (GCS) Experiment. GCS is software to control the descent of a spacecraft onto a planet's surface. The GCS example is simplified from a real example spacecraft, but exhibits the characteristics of realistic spacecraft control software. The formal specification is written in Larch.

The design complexity of a software system may be characterized within a refinement level (e.g., data flow among modules), or between refinement levels (e.g., traceability between the specification and the design). We analyzed an existing set of data from NASA's Software Engineering Laboratory to test whether changing software modules with high design complexity requires more personnel effort than changing modules with low design complexity. By analyzing variables singly, we identified strong correlations between software design complexity and change effort for error corrections performed during the maintenance phase. By analyzing variables in combination, we found patterns which identify modules in which error corrections were costly to perform during the acceptance test phase.

Skew bridges are required to cross the drains at any angle other than normal. These can be helpful in making straight crossing or utilizing the available land where normal crossing are either impossible or not suitable. The slab bridges are uneconomical for large spans due to excessive design thickness but good for small spans due to its easy execution.Bending Moment result comparison between both software i.e. Staad Pro and Etabs show little variation For Span 15 m on Staad Pro and Etabs is 74.518 kn sq.mm and 68.40kn sq.mm respectively, For Span 17 m on Staad Pro and Etabs is 71.47 kn sq.mm and66.70 kn sq.mm respectively and For Span 19 m on Staad Pro and Etabs is 79.73 kn sq.mm and71.95 kn sq.mm respectively. At constant skew angle for varying span length the torsional bending moment gradually shift toward obtuse acute angle. In both the software i.e. STAAD and ETAB the ETAB give more appropriate result in compare to STAAD.

The Vehicle Integrated Defense System (VIDS) incorporates several packages of application software written in Ada. This report describes the preliminary design and code generation of one of the critical packages, the Threat Resolution Module (TRM). The necessary logic design, table, and file creation and other tasks to implement a preliminary TRM was accomplished. All programming was written in the DOD standard Higher Order Language of Ada. Work was done on the UNISTAR 200 workstation hosting an Ada Compiler developed by TeleSoft Corporation and targeting the MC68000 microcomputer. The operating system for the software development was UNIX. This report describes the feasibility of the VIDS-DMS software design approach by discussing the three principal topics of: 1. Software algorithm design technology; 2. Code generation, edit, and debug using Ada as the PDL; and 3. Test of the preliminary TRM on a skeleton operating system (testbed). The annotated source code of the software as well as the object code for the TRM is delivered under separate cover with this report to TACOM. This data, in conjunction with the 'lessons learned' during the experimental development project form the baseline for continued development of the VIDS-DMS Feasibility Demonstration Model software. Additional keywords: Computer program documentation; Threat detection; Multispectral sensor integration.

The Rome Air Development Center has developed the Software Quality Framework as a means to specify software quality goals and measure software quality. Much of the work to date has focused on metrics applicable to software code. This report describes an effort undertaken to measure the quality of software products earlier in the software development life cycle, during the design phase, and to automate the capture of metric data from design media. Metrics of software quality, primarily those related to the criterion simplicity (or conversely, complexity), were reviewed. This review includes those metrics previously developed in the Software Quality Framework. Two metrics, Halstead's Software Science and McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity were chosen for their amenability to measurement during design and their potential for automation. Two design media were used: Design Aids for Real-Time Systems, an experimental automated design tool developed at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory; and Ada as a program design language.

The results of a research project on the development of computer software are presented. Research funds of $200,000 were expended over a three year period for software design and projects in connection with Project LOGOS (computer-aided design and certification of computing systems). Abstracts of theses prepared during the project are provided.

Designing software is a complex process. How object-oriented design (OOD), coupled with formalized documentation and tailored object diagraming techniques, can reduce the complexity of the software design process is described and illustrated. The described OOD methodology uses a hierarchical decomposition approach in which parent objects are decomposed into layers of lower level child objects. A method of tracking the assignment of requirements to design components is also included. Increases in the reusability, portability, and maintainability of the resulting products are also discussed. This method was built on a combination of existing technology, teaching experience, consulting experience, and feedback from design method users. The discussed concepts are applicable to hierarchal OOD processes in general. Emphasis is placed on improving the design process by documenting the details of the procedures involved and incorporating improvements into those procedures as they are developed.

Have you been curious about that odd, but strangely interesting group called Defective By Design? Great. We were too. That's why we booked an appointment with Peter Brown to get the inside scoop of of what the DBD was all about. As a bonus, since Peter Brown is the Executive Director at the Free Software Foundation, we chatted about that goals of the organization and how DRM negatively impacts the Free Software Movement (by the way, that's Free as in Freedom).

This paper describes the Decision Support System (DSS), a personal computer software graphics tool for designing conceptual space and/or planetary electrical power systems. By using the DSS, users can obtain desirable system design and operating parameters, such as system weight, electrical distribution efficiency, and bus power. With this tool, a large-scale specific power system was designed in a matter of days. It is an excellent tool to help designers make tradeoffs between system components, hardware architectures, and operation parameters in the early stages of the design cycle. The DSS is a user-friendly, menu-driven tool with online help and a custom graphical user interface. An example design and results are illustrated for a typical space power system with multiple types of power sources, frequencies, energy storage systems, and loads.

Modern cyber-physical systems (CPS) have a close inter-dependence between software and physical components. Automotive embedded systems are typical CPS, as physical chips, sensors and actuators are physical components and software embedded within are the cyber components. The current stage of embedded systems is highly complex in architecture design for both software and hardware. It is common in industrial practice that high level control algorithm development and low level code implementation on hardware platforms are developed separately with limited shared information. However, software code and hardware architecture become closely related with the increasing complexity. Correlated requirements and dependencies between hardware and software are emerging problems of industrial practice. We demonstrate in this paper a method to link model based system design with real-time simulations and analysis of the architecture model. This allows hardware software co-design and thus early selection of hardware architecture.

The construction and maintenance of berthing structures are very expensive and therefore the most economic design should be adopted. To arrive at an economic design the structural engineer has to repeat the design for different alternatives for all loading conditions. To minimize his effort a computing tool has become necessary. Software BESTDESIGN has been developed using the computer language Visual Basic and the Database MSAccess for the analysis and design of ship berthing structures. The software can be used for the analysis and design of new berthing structures and can also be used for obtaining the design aspects while reconstructing an existing structure. The software developed was tested with the requirements at Cochin Port. Cochin Port Trust is the authority of a number of ship berthing structures. Some of them are to be reconstructed and there are new projects involving the construction of new ship berths or the extension of existing berthing structures.
