A Basis for an Assembly Process for COTS-Based Systems (APCS)

PDF/DOC

This paper describes a generic process framework for developing software systems based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products. The framework is based on Barry Boehm's familiar spiral development process. However, it is primarily intended for projects that make significant use of commercial components and other pre-existing software as elements of the system to be fielded. The aspects of the process that are most affected by this reliance on COTS components lie in the area of requirements, and the description of the process is most extensive in that area. The necessity of using system prototypes as the major vehicle for reducing risk is assumed, as are parallel and interleaved periods of gathering and refining knowledge about the system to be built. Each element of the process is first described and then depicted in several models, using Integrated Definition modeling technique (IDEF0). The paper describes how the interactions between the candidate COTS components, the stakeholders' implicit and explicit needs, and the context in which the system will operate all provide interacting constraints on both the process and the resulting system.

A Federation Object Model (FOM) Flexible Federate Framework

PDF/DOC

The concept of a framework as a reusable software component has become a state-of-the-practice technique in software companies. A number of frameworks based on High Level Architecture (HLA) are available commercially, and many companies have developed their own frameworks for internal applications. Using a framework reduces development time and allows software architects and programmers to focus on the unique aspects of the simulation. However, the challenge of developing a reusable component to support dynamic reconfigurability remains. Indeed, existing frameworks use a static object-model representation that requires full knowledge of object model components when a federate is built (at compile-time). This report describes an approach to designing a domain framework that encapsulates expertise in developing an HLA federate by hiding runtime infrastructure (RTI) internal operations from the developer. This approach uses a JavaTM virtual machine and a parser to map object representations of federation object model (FOM) elements dynamically.

A Simple and Flexible Specification for an Enterprise Architecture Practice (SATURN 2009)

PDF/DOC

presentation given at SATURN 2009, which took place in Pittsburgh, PA on May 4-7, 2009

This presentation describes a simple and flexible enterprise architecture practice employed by Sandia National Laboratories that is designed to help mitigate the tendency toward “too much information.” The practice provides enterprise architects with a framework and principles that guide their work and defines an overall process for enterprise architecture, the outputs of which are the following: as-is (baseline) and to-be (target) descriptions of business, information systems, and technology architectures; the interactions and alignments within and among these architectures; and a road map for transforming the enterprise from the baseline to the target state. The architecture descriptions identify the scope and bounds of the enterprise, characterize enterprise stakeholders and the strategic intent of the enterprise toward them, describe the current state of the enterprise, and recommend a future state that facilitates the realization of the enterprise strategic intent. The roadmap, in turn, defines a transition plan to guide progress toward the target architecture and provides methods to measure progress during the transition. The work products of enterprise architecture are intended to provide concise, relevant, timely, and accurate information to decision makers and program managers regarding the realization of the desired future state of the enterprise.

A Software Product Line Vision for Defense Acquisition

PDF/DOC

Experience in industry and government over the last 10 years has shown that a software product line approach can significantly improve productivity and product quality, facilitate change, and reduce life-cycle costs. Defense acquisition policy calls for such improvements related to software but makes no explicit mention of a product line approach as an option. Although policy gives program managers sufficient flexibility to adopt a product line approach, there is little awareness of this possibility and considerable uncertainty concerning when and how to do it. This note presents a vision for software product lines as an acquisition focus and suggests extensions to current Department of Defense policy and practices to increase the awareness of and receptivity to product line acquisition as a viable alternative.

An Application of an Iterative Approach to DoD Software Migration Planning

PDF/DOC

In recent years, system modernization has received much attention within the Department of Defense (DoD). Typically, that attention has focused on the technical and acquisition issues associated with the new system. Less attention has been paid to the equally important issue of planning the migration from the old system to the new system.

This technical note reports on the early results of an approach that is currently being piloted to support software migration planning. This approach focuses on deriving actionable mini-plans for focus areas that are identified in an initial increment of an overall migration plan.

An Emergent Perspective on Interoperation in Systems of Systems

PDF/DOC

This technical report characterizes systems of systems from several perspectives; shows the role of emergent behavior in systems of systems; and introduces interoperability as the domain of development, use, sustainment, and evolution for systems of systems. It argues that the increasing importance of systems of systems was inevitable, emergent behavior is inherent in systems of systems, traditional software and systems engineering methods are inadequate for interoperation of systems of systems, and emergent methods offer a potential for cost-effective and predictable solutions. This report aims to facilitate discussion and reasoning about interoperation within systems of systems by showing some of the interdependencies among systems, emergence, and interoperation. It establishes a sizable but incomplete repertoire of topics, characteristics, and principles that are fundamental to the intersection of systems of systems, emergent behavior, and interoperation.

Assessment of CORBA and POSIX Designs for FAA En Route Resectorization

PDF/DOC

Modernizing the En Route system presents major acquisition issues to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). At the present time, efforts are underway to upgrade the En Route system, primarily focusing on the host computer system. This report addresses the use of different technologies and an architectural tradeoff approach on a typical En Route system problem. We were requested to consider the problem of resectorization, i.e., the combination and decombination of sectors (and fix posting areas) during operation of the En Route center. Such capabilities may become desirable for an implementation of free flight. Two technologies have been applied to develop solutions to this problem, namely Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and POSIX.21 (Portable Operating System Interface Standard). The former is based on an object-oriented model, while the latter is based on a message-passing model.

Bridging Systems and Software Architecture

PDF/DOC

presentation given at SATURN 2009, which took place in Pittsburgh, PA on May 4-7, 2009

The increasing complexity of large-scale software-intensive systems, along with well- documented software project failure rates, has brought attention to ensuring the architecting process provides value to the system development effort. As architecting processes become integrated into traditional engineering processes, it is important to seamlessly transition among enterprise, systems, and software architecture methods to realize the benefits of architecting to the overall system development. Ineffective transition has introduced the likelihood of increased cost and risk due to “disconnects” as architecture transitions through the various levels of decomposition.

Raytheon has explored the relationship between systems architecture and software architecture in an effort to improve the capability to transition between these architecting activities and improve internal engineering processes. This paper will present Raytheon’s findings, including identification of key cost and risk drivers, recommendations for improving the capability to transition, and a discussion on the use of architecture methodologies to analyze the problem.

CMM in Practice: Processes for Executing Software Projects at Infosys

Book

The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a widely adopted set of guidelines for evaluating and improving an organization's software development processes. The CMM is a general framework, however, and provides no specific guidance for implementation; instead, each organization must relate CMM characteristics to its own processes. As a consequence, the need has emerged for comprehensive accounts of successful CMM implementations, as well as for detailed descriptions of how software projects are executed in those cases. Such real-world examples can serve as a valuable resource for managers and developers responsible for setting up the CMM and carrying out their own projects.

CMM in Practice comprises such a resource. Examining the various stages in the life cycle of a typical software project at Infosys Technologies, the book describes the technical and management processes used to initiate, plan, and execute the project. To enhance the discussion, an actual Infosys project is used as a running example throughout the book.

CMMI for Small Businesses: Initial Results of the Pilot Study

PDF/DOC

A frequent misconception about adopting Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is that it works only for large organizations—its cost and complexity appear to make it impractical for smaller organizations to implement. Jim Hendrix, a business systems engineer at Analytical Services Inc. (ASI), doesn’t believe that’s the case. His organization recently implemented three process areas (PAs) of CMMI as part of a pilot study with the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). He said CMMI might even be more beneficial to smaller businesses because it allows them to grow more consistently and to make changes when they are less costly, that is, "before growth demands them."

A major problem in transitioning fault tolerance practices to the practitioner community is a lack of a common view of what fault tolerance is, and how it can help in the design of reliable computer systems. This document takes a step towards making fault tolerance more understandable by proposing a conceptual framework. The framework provides a consistent vocabulary for fault tolerance concepts, discusses how systems fail, describes commonly used mechanisms for making systems fault tolerant, and provides some rules for developing fault tolerant systems.

In particular, Simplex-based systems are being considered, a technology that supports dependable upgrade of systems in a fault tolerant manner through the concept of analytic redundancy [4]. Such systems provide flexibility to real-time systems for dynamic reconfiguration and dependable incremental and online upgrade. The paper focuses on offline analysis to determine inconsistencies in configurations and identify reconfiguration paths to recover to consistent configurations. The results are used by runtime configuration management to avoid such configurations. Identification of inconsistent configurations is improved through modeling of application semantics in the control domain and utilizing them in the analysis. The same analysis supports design time analysis of potential impact of changes.

Design Specifications for ADAptive Real-Time Systems

PDF/DOC

The design specification method described in this report treats a software architecture as a set of run-time entities, including tasks and external input/output elements, which interact either via messages or shared data structures. Tasks have a single thread of execution and represent program units that may be executed concurrently. External input elements produce input requests which in turn trigger a set of low level activities to be executed by tasks. External output elements consume results which are produced by tasks. The specification method discussed here facilitates the description of the dynamic structure of run-time entities, the synchronization and communication between these entities, and their resource consumption and production properties (which include timing and sizing).

Distributed Real-Time System Design: Theoretical Concepts and Applications

PDF/DOC

Distributed real-time system design raises new theoretical issues and application challenges, beyond those of centralized systems. Rate monotonic scheduling (RMS) theory has been successfully applied in the scheduling of centralized systems. RMS and its generalizations have been adopted by national high technology projects such as the Space Station and has recently been supported by major open standards such as the IEEE Futurebus+ and POSIX.4. In this paper, we describe the use of generalized rate monotonic scheduling theory for the design and analysis of a distributed real-time system. We review the recent extensions of the theory to distributed system scheduling, examine the architectural requirements for use of the theory, and finally provide an application example.

Evaluating Service-Oriented Architectures

Podcast

The emergence of service-oriented architecture (SOA) as an approach for integrating applications that expose services presents many new challenges to organizations resulting in significant risks to their business. Particularly important among those risks are failures to effectively address quality attribute requirements such as performance, availability, security, and modifiability. Because the risk and impact of SOA are distributed and pervasive across applications, it is critical to perform an architecture evaluation early in the software life cycle. This report contains technical information about SOA design considerations and tradeoffs that can help the architecture evaluator to identify and mitigate risks in a timely and effective manner. The report provides an overview of SOA, outlines key architecture approaches and their effect on quality attributes, establishes an organized collection of design-related questions that an architecture evaluator may use to analyze the ability of the architecture to meet quality requirements, and provides a brief sample evaluation.

Evolving Persistent Objects in a Distributed Environment

PDF/DOC

This paper considers a class of objects, called incrementally mutable objects, that are intermediate between mutable and immutable objects. Intuitively, the only permitted modifications to an incrementally mutable object are those that add new information to the object while preserving existing information. Changes to incrementally mutable objects do not require central synchronization. When a network becomes partitioned, the same incrementally mutable object can be safely modified in each subnetwork. A mutable object can be modeled by a set of immutable objects that represent each value of the object over time and an incrementally mutable object that relates each immutable object to its successor. Multiple successors are permitted to represent parallel changes.

Experiences Porting the Distributed ADA Real-Time Kernel

PDF/DOC

The Distributed ADA Real-Time Kernel (DARK) is a mechanism for supporting the execution of distributed real-time ADA applications in embedded computer systems. It provides a solution to scheduling and distributing tasks without modifying the ADA language or vendor-supplied run time systems. An important test of the utility of the Kernel is whether or not it can be ported to different hardware architectures and still function effectively. As part of an independent research and development project, Boeing Military Airplanes and The Wichita State University became co-acceptors of a copy of DARK for the purpose of demonstrating a port to a 68000-based distributed architecture. This technical report describes the experiences in accomplishing the port.

Fault Tolerant Systems Practitioner's Workshop June 10-11, 1991

PDF/DOC

On June 10-11, 1991, a Fault Tolerant Systems Practitioner's Workshop was held at the Software Engineering Institute. The purpose of the workshop was to attempt to identify how fault tolerance is being applied today, why fault tolerance is under used, and what can be done to bring fault tolerant practices into wider use. Attendance at the workshop was limited to a small number of practitioners who had successfully applied fault tolerance in a systems context. This report summarizes the proceedings of the workshop which included a discussion of barriers to the deployment of fault tolerant systems, a summary of the state of the practice, and a discussion of the technology needs of fault tolerance. The report concludes with a discussion of ways the Software Engineering Institute may be able to help bring fault tolerant practices into wider use.

Groundbreaking Best-Practices Model for Acquiring IT & Technical Products and Services

Podcast

Listen to the news conference held in Detroit on 11/7/2007. Acquisitions of information technology (IT) and technical products and services help drive the worldwide economy but - until now - no comprehensive best-practices model existed to specifically ensure quality outcomes between acquirers and suppliers. Today, the SEI - along with General Motors’ Information Systems and Services department and top officials from HP, Capgemini and the U.S. government - formally unveiled a comprehensive new model, called CMMI for Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ), that it believes will revolutionize the way governments and businesses worldwide acquire or outsource their software-intensive systems and services.

Integration and Interoperability Models for Systems of Systems

PDF/DOC

Appropriate models have proven to be of considerable value in many engineering
domains. The SEI is in need of such models for integrating collections of software systems. Efforts have produced several interesting and useful models, butmuch more work is needed.

The trend toward ever-increasing interconnection between systems will continue. The nature and quality of these interconnections will be governed by decisions already being made and the effects of these decisions may be long-lasting.

Introducing a Guide to Interoperability

PDF/DOC

Within the Department of Defense (DoD), government, and corporate worlds, large-scale systems of systems (SoS) are increasingly being put together in an unprecedented way. Establishing interoperability between the constituent systems is increasingly a key for an organization to meet its critical goals. However, as organizations envision transparent net-centric operations spanning a large number of systems, we have found that successfully achieving such a vision requires a fundamental shift in traditional ways of thinking about system development, acquisition, and management.
