Two Synthesis Applications: Boeing/Navy/Stars Flight Training Systems and Rockwell Command and Control Systems. Version 01.00.00

Abstract

K.C. King presents the Boeing/Navy/STARS demonstration of the Consortium's Synthesis methodology for software reuse on Navy Flight Training Systems. Synthesis is the foundation for an approach being used by Boeing and a U.S. Navy/STARS team to develop software for the Navy's T-34C flight simulator trainer. A major reuse strategy of the program is the use of a 'two life-cycle model', requiring that the traditional application development life cycle be 'front-ended' with a separate, but coordinated, life cycle that creates process- driven software assets for a defined product line (or family) of systems. The mastering of variations in requirements between similar systems is at the heart of Synthesis. Mr. King describes how they have used Synthesis in a comprehensive, 'leveraged' mode, fully deploying the Synthesis methodology throughout the program.
