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

摘要

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 NICTA's middleware evaluation method and apply it to the airborne mission systems domain.
