SPACEBORNE SOFTWARE SYSTEMS STUDY. VOLUME III: RECOMMENDATION FOR A COMMON SPACE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.
Abstract
This volume of the Spaceborne Software Systems Study recommends a programming language for adoption as the common higher-order programming language for spaceborne software. The volume describes the benefits to be obtained from adopting a higher-order language and describes the reasons why the present time is appropriate for adoption of such a language. The spaceborne software application area is analyzed and reviewed including: programming personnel, hardware, production methods, and data processing functions. An evaluation of existing widely accepted languages is made and a description of the semantic capabilities of the recommended language and its subsets is included. A description of implementation considerations is also provided; this includes compiler capability requirements and a recommendation regarding compiler development techniques. (Author)
