A-7E Software Module Guide.

Abstract

This document describes the basic organization of NRL's version of the A-7E onboard flight software. The report describes a structure in which modules have been designed in accordance with the Information Hiding Principle. Because of the larger number of modules that result when this principle is applied, the modules are arranged in a hierarchy. The hierarchy should simplify the task of a maintenance programmer assigned to make a specific modification. The document also describes the principles used in the design of the software. It is intended to be useful both as a guide to the A-7E software and as a model for those developing other software systems. (Author)
