Case Study on Rapid Software Prototyping and Automated Software Generation: An Inertial Navigation System

Abstract

The discipline of software engineering is on the move from an 'art' to an engineering science based on mathematical rules. Along this way methods of rapid prototyping and tools for automatic program generation are being developed to aid the process of software development. This thesis takes a real life example of an Inertial Navigation System and develops it according to the automation principles for computer aided software development. The techniques of rapid software prototyping are also applied to the same problem. The software prototype of the Inertial Navigation System can further be run through The Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) to mechanically generate Ada software. All implementation work is done in Ada as required by DoD for all embedded weapons systems.The two approaches will be integrated for analysis. Theses.
