Air Force Future Aerospace Science and Technology (HUFAST) Center
Abstract
In keeping with the primary objective of the grant the HUFAST research team designed and developed tools to assist in the development of component-based, fault-tolerant C4I systems. During the first two years of this effort the HUFAST research program focused on fault-tolerant issues involving C4I systems in distributed environments. The work researched fundamental problems in software engineering with special emphasis on those problems most common to avionics. This period provided the basis for the middle two years where the research emphasized more technical results. Further these middle two years allowed us to apply our earlier results and direct our efforts more towards issues of fault-tolerance in targeted heterogeneous applications. The avoidance of single points of failure in distributed, component-based systems was emphasized. The primary purpose of our research was realized during the latter two years of the project with the creation of a Software Development Kit (SDK) comprised of methods and tools to assist the developers of fault-tolerant. component-based software for avionics and aerospace.
