Research abstract
Not Available Avionics maintenance has become increasingly stressed with the ever-shortening support life of equipment, and the need to maintain avionics for longer life spans. Further aggravated by the increasing number of TPS types and number of platforms, this has been one of the biggest challenges for the defense services and commercial air transport industry. The ATLAS language intention was to address ATS and TPS platform-independence. However, through years of implementation, these applications have lost the trait, and are expensive to support. TPS's are rigidly constrained to a given platform, and ATLAS programmers are scarce. The spirit of this proposal is to align an ATS and TPS with the commercial industry, while keeping benefits of ATLAS. The goal is to obtain a platform-independent, widely supportable, TPS migration, and legacy TPS approach. ATLAS implementation can be reengineered into Java Bean components that are both language and platform-independent, and scalable from large ATE to PalmPilot applications. Both the ATS and TPS will be developed using Pure Java using ATLAS Java Beans components. For new applications, the complete environment will be optimized. For legacy systems, a variant set of the ATLAS Java Beans components can be developed to the existing TPS interface.
