Survivability in Object Service Architectures (OSA)
Abstract
The military of the future will increasingly rely upon information superiority to dominate the battlespace. The size and complexity of the software systems necessary to achieve this goal makes them highly vulnerable to the loss or degradation of hosts, networks, or processed due to physical and information warfare attacks, hardware and infrastructure failures, and software errors. This report summaries the goals and results of a project that developed an architecture and software mechanisms to make military and commercial software applications based on the popular Object Services Architecture (e.g., OMG's CORBA) model far more survivable than is currently possible, while at the same time maintaining the flexibility and ease of construction that characterizes OSA based applications.
