Applying a Service-Oriented Architecture to Operational Flight Program Development; Journal article

摘要

This article describes how a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) was successfully applied to reuse data and applications previously deployed in single-user, single-computer configurations. The collection of data and applications was transformed into a unified, multiuser, client-server platform through the use of open source and standards-based technologies to minimize development time, maximize interoperability, and facilitate collaboration. The collaboration resulting from the multiuser network capability and shared resources enabled progress towards the Aerospace Basic Quality System Standard (AS9100) goals of lowering costs, meeting schedules, improving quality, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
