Developing an Evaluation Method for Middleware-Based Software Architectures of Airborne Mission Systems

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA502032 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Australian Defence Force ADF is acquiring airborne mission systems that incorporate component-based and distributed computing systems. Such systems are built on middleware technologies. As DSTO is responsible for technically evaluating ADF acquisitions, one area of research in the Air Operations Division is the evaluation of middleware-based software architectures. In order to conduct this research, DSTO and NICTA have collaborated to extend NICTAs middleware evaluation method and apply it to the airborne mission systems domain.
