چکیده
Daniel L. Dvorak Systems and Software Division Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology “The demand for complex hardware/software systems has increased more rapidly than the ability to design, implement, test, and maintain them. ... It is the integrating potential of software that has allowed designers to contemplate more ambitious systems encompassing a broader and more multidisciplinary scope, and it is the growth in utilization of software components that is largely responsible for the high overall complexity of many system designs.”

Software Process Improvement in the NASA Software Engineering Laboratory
The Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) was established in 1976 for the purpose of studying and measuring software processes with the intent of identifying improvements that could be applied to the production of ground support software within the Flight Dynamics Division (FDD) at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The SEL has three mem...
متن کاملOn-Board Guarded Software Upgrading for Space Missions
The evolvable avionics systems such as the X2000 at NASA/JPL are able to have software upgrades during a long-life mission for dependability, performance and functionality improvement (we call it “on-board software upgrade”) [1]. While evolvability itself can be viewed as on-board perfective maintenance, it necessitates preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance for eliminating or mitiga...

متن کاملCertification of COTS Software in NASA Human Rated Flight Systems
Adoption of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products in safety critical systems has been seen as a promising acquisition strategy to improve mission affordability and, yet, has come with significant barriers and challenges. Attempts to integrate COTS software components into NASA human rated flight systems have been, for the most part, complicated by verification and validation (V&V) requiremen...
