SWSC Domain Engineering Experience (Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) Program).

Abstract

The Space and Warning Systems Center (SWSC) in Colorado Springs maintains and develops Command and Control Systems for NORAD, USSPACECOM, and AFSPC. Twenty-seven 'stovepipe' systems imbedding twenty-four languages and ten millions lines of code make for a maintenance nightmare and for a fertile ground for Megaprogramming, or Product Line Software Reuse. At the SWSC, the SCAI (Space Command and Control Architectural Infrastructure) project has been instituting Architecture-Based, Product-Line Software Reuse for the past two years. The SCAI project is the STARS/Loral/Air Force Megaprogramming Demonstration Project out of ARPA. This paper presents the lessons learned in developing and using a Domain Architecture, a Domain Architecture Framework, and a Domain Engineering Process, while developing a SCAI Space Surveillance Application.
