Tech transfer

The OO related patterns appearing in the SEC catalog have been included in the Object-Oriented Technology in Aviation (OOTiA) Handbook to be published by the FAA and NASA later this year. This work, in turn, has influenced a number of commercial tool vendors and other research into tool support for the analysis of high assurance software sponsored by Boeing at Georgia Tech.

These same patterns have also been included in the Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute (AVSI) Guide adopted by Rockwell Collins, Boeing, Honeywell, and Goodrich.

The High Assurance software patterns appearing in the SEC catalog have also influenced the request for proposal (RFP) being developed at the OMG for a High Assurance version of CORBA.

Commercial support for the patterns and tools developed as part of this project will be provided by Ensoft.

A number of people have expressed an interest in the use of these patterns and tools in high assurance software systems, including Geneva Aerospace, and two Rockwell Collins product area organizations.

Ensoft Corporation also intends to extend the basic approach into other non safety-critical domains such as banking and finance, and to address issues related to legacy software migration and the porting of software to new platforms.
