RASSP Advanced Reuse System

• Apply advanced reuse methodologies and technologies to applications with high cost take out potential for aerospace electronics
• Prototype innovative knowledge sharing, OO, and distribution technologies to demonstrate key aspects of the core reuse technology

• High ROI demonstrated through focused applications; Space Communications Payload Center of Excellence
• Significant gains in productivity and quality ensured through application of methodology and technology
  

• Single interface for user searches in a fully distributed, cooperative, and heterogeneous environment
• Manage descriptive data and design objects in various formats
• Enable sophisticated customization and extension of the class hierarchy and definitions
• Search multiple information views and complex relationships, structured and semi-structured source data
• Standards based mechanism for interoperability between the library management system and external tools
• Support tightly-coupled and loosely-coupled federation paradigms
• Manage multiple permutations and/or revisions of individual design elements
• Enable incremental integration of diverse autonomously developed information without requiring data migration.

APPROACH

• Develop demonstration application; design for/with reuse methodology and processes class hierarchy
• Build an initial tool base with:
  • Stanford University Ontolingua modeling tool Knowledge Information format (KIF) and ontology libraries
  • Web-enabled front-end from Black&White Software
  • OMG/ CORBA 2.0 /Iona Orbix
  • oo Design: Object Design Inc.'s Object Store
  • Multiple back-end source DBMS's
  • Prototype and demonstration 4Q97
  • Productize Sandpiper Software Inc.'s information broker infrastructure and tools
  • Lockheed Martin ATL and Sandpiper provide reuse implementation services
