Reusable solutions to building software interface for instructor console of flight simulator

Building Reusable Software

Reusing software improves quality as well as productivity. In practice, it is hard to achieve significant levels of reuse in commercial applications beyond generic support software. This tutorial will present programming and design techniques for achieving more reuse. The first session will examine the obstacles to reuse in commercial data processing, and illustrate the potential benefits. The ...

Building Reusable Software Components for Heuristic Search∗

Today, advanced heuristic approaches for discrete optimization are usually implemented from scratch. We discuss some crucial problems that have so far prevented us from having a “heuristics stockroom” with ready-to-use software components available. Then, we analyze the domain to be covered by reusable software and introduce and discuss a design for a framework for heuristic search. Finally, we...

Hypoxia and flight performance of military instructor pilots in a flight simulator.

INTRODUCTION Military aircrew and other operational personnel frequently perform their duties at altitudes posing a significant hypoxia risk, often with limited access to supplemental oxygen. Despite the significant risk hypoxia poses, there are few studies relating it to primary flight performance, which is the purpose of the present study. METHODS Objective, quantitative measures of aircraf...
