Real-Time Systems and Displays Seminar (6th) Held at Patrick AFB, Florida on 3-6 October 1978

摘要

The Real-Time Systems and Displays Seminar primary objective was to share information and establish lines of communication between personnel responsible for the design, development and implementation of real-time computer hardware and software systems. Participants were asked to address existing range capabilities as well as future plans. Each paper was to emphasize real-time hardware configurations, data systems communications, and application software techniques. During the course of the presentations, participants were particularly interested in the following: (A) Computer selection criteria (B) Reliability goals, (C) Adaptability to changing requirements (D) Incremental of system growth potential (E) Elimination of single points of failure (F) Methods for fail-safe/fail-soft operation (G) Graphic applications, (H) Real-time software filters, (I) Software modularity and application libraries (J) Real-time data reduction potential. The seminar provided an outstanding opportunity for attendees to meet and to discuss the latest developments in the area of real-time computer hardware and software technology.
