Certification Issues for Emulation of Legacy Mission Computer Systems

Speaker: Dr Colin Fidge, ITEE

When: 10.00AM, Friday 04 Apr 2003

Venue: 78-420

Host: Dr Colin Fidge

Abstract:

  Processor obsolescence is a serious technical and economic problem
  for long-lived computer control systems such as those found in
  military aircraft.  Processor emulation offers a potential solution
  by interposing an interpreter between old "legacy" software and a
  new processor.  The School is currently undertaking consultancy for
  the Defence Science and Technology Organisation on the airworthiness
  certification issues associated with using processor emulation in
  avionics systems.  This talk introduces the legacy software problem,
  describes the emulation solution, and summarises our conclusions to
  date about the relevance of existing airworthiness certification
  standards.
