[Unified-mailman] CP Wednesday: What Software Do You Need to Get to Mars?

[Kristina Lundqvist]

Unified,

Just a remainder about tomorrow's CP lecture:

Time: 5/12/04, 9am
Room: 35-225
Speaker: Heidi C. Perry, Division Leader - Software Engineering, Draper 
Laboratories


Lecture Topic:  What Software Do You Need to Get to Mars?  A Look at Large 
Scale Software Development

Today's aerospace applications are extremely software intensive.   The
designs of all modern flight platforms, e.g., aircraft, rotorcraft,
submersibles, missiles and spacecraft, have been revolutionized because of
the integration of advanced microelectronics and complex sensor systems.
All of these systems extensively use information generated by a myriad of
sensor subsystems that are highly integrated into a real-time embedded
software architecture.  This lecture will explore what it takes to develop
large scale software for a number of examples of highly reliable, flight
critical software applications.


This lecture is going to be very exciting, and I look forward to seeing all 
of you there.
