Felice Torelli TEC-SWS 2 Background SOIS Services define conceptual service primitives SOIS Services implementation is dependent on: –the HW platform (in particular the sub-network) –the OS –the programming language –the programming model –the Application SW development framework (if used) Different SW supplier can implement the same SOIS services in different ways and still be compliant to the standard

Felice Torelli TEC-SWS 3 Requirements (ESA) SOIS Service users should be independent from the specific SW implementation SOIS Service users should be independent from the specific HW platform The definition of the Avionics Architecture should use the SOIS Services as a building block

Felice Torelli TEC-SWS 4 Objective (1/2) To identify a common baseline (SW context) regarding: –OS (e.g. RTEMS) –Programming language (e.g. C) –Programming model (e.g. *.indication as call-back function) To specify the SOIS Service API in a concrete way (SW/SW ICD) To leave open the SOIS Services SW implementation

Felice Torelli TEC-SWS 5 Objective (2/2) Open implementation Standard API Open point (P&P?)

Felice Torelli TEC-SWS 6 Way Forward? Outcome of prototyping activity: –Identification of the baseline SW context –API ICD proposal Iteration with SW suppliers (industry) to assess the API ICD To make the API ICD an applicable standard for the specific SW context (e.g. OS, language, etc) Different SW contexts will require new iterations and potentially different API ICD
