Unified, <br><br>
Just a remainder about tomorrow's CP lecture:<br><br>
<b>Time</b>: 5/12/04, 9am<br>
<b>Room</b>: 35-225<br>
<b>Speaker</b>: Heidi C. Perry, Division Leader - Software Engineering,
Draper Laboratories<br><br>
<br>
<b>Lecture Topic</b>: <b>What Software Do You Need to Get to
Mars? A Look at Large Scale Software Development<br><br>
</b>Today's aerospace applications are extremely software
intensive. The <br>
designs of all modern flight platforms, e.g., aircraft, rotorcraft,
<br>
submersibles, missiles and spacecraft, have been revolutionized because
of <br>
the integration of advanced microelectronics and complex sensor
systems. <br>
All of these systems extensively use information generated by a myriad of
<br>
sensor subsystems that are highly integrated into a real-time embedded
<br>
software architecture. This lecture will explore what it takes to
develop <br>
large scale software for a number of examples of highly reliable, flight
<br>
critical software applications. <br><br>
<br>
This lecture is going to be very exciting, and I look forward to seeing
all of you there.<br><br>
