Implementation of the NETOS (Network Operating System) Operated System in Ada with Modifications to Allow Variable Length Messages

Abstract

This thesis redeveloped the Network Operating System (NETOS) software, which is patterned after the OSI 7-Layer Model and runs on a Local Area Network at the Air Force Institute of Technology, from the programming language C to the programming language Ada, with modifications to support variable length messages. The approach taken used a software development methodology which contains the following phases; requirements analysis, design, implementation, and testing. The requirement analysis phase consisted of an enumerated listing of the requirement specifications supported by SADT diagrams. The design phase transformed these diagrams to a structural chart representation of the design. Implementation of the software was written in Janus/Ada for the work stations and Whitesmith C for the central system. Testing was an integral part of the implementation phase and was accomplished at each level of the 7-Layer model.
