Book Description
This thesis demonstrates a methodology to be used by a Program Manager to allow him to procedurally monitor the design development of an embedded weapons system. The methodology consists of a unique combination of several software engineering strategies integrated to form a powerful management tool. The primary objective of the methodology is to provide an algorithmic procedure which stresses simplicity at all levels of abstraction. Further, the system must be capable of generating good system specifications, good documentation, and fully understandable products. Sample products from the implementation of the methodology on the HARPOON Shipboard Command-Launch Control Set (HSCLCS) are provided for illustrative purposes. (Author).

Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 29 (thesis year 1984) a total of 12,637 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 202 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 29 reports theses submitted in 1984, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Description
This thesis attempts to demonstrate the use of a combination of design method in the development of the Harpoon Weapon system. The initial design was presented in a thesis by Sentman and Maroney ADA126945. This thesis refines the initial design and presents a step by step process for designing a major system. Through the combination of many different techniques, the authors develop a unique logical approach to the software engineering problem associated with complex embedded weapons systems. Data flow diagrams are the first step. This approach allows the data or information to be charted throughout the system. A transform analysis is then performed on the data flow diagrams. This analysis imposes a control structure on the data and a hierarchical modular design is created. Once modules are identified, modules can then be grouped into packages to be used by Ada for a System Design Language or a Program Design Language.

Book Description
There are many books on project management and many on embedded systems, but few address the project management of embedded products from concept to production. Project Management of Complex and Embedded Systems: Ensuring Product Integrity and Program Quality uses proven Project Management methods and elements of IEEE embedded software development techniques, to explain how to deliver a reliable complex system to market. This volume begins with a general discussion of project management, followed by an examination of the various tools used before a project is underway. The book then delves into the specific project stages: concept, product development, process development, validation of the product and process, and release to production. Finally, post-project stages are explored, including failure reporting, analysis, corrective actions, and product support. The book draws heavily on information from Department of Defense sources as well as systems developed by the Automotive Industry Action Group, General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford to standardize the approach to designing and developing new products. These automotive development and production ideas have universal value, particularly the concept of process and design controls. The authors use these systems to explain project management techniques that can assist developers of any embedded system. The methods explored can be adapted toward mechanical development projects as well. The text includes numerous war stories offering concrete solutions to problems that might occur in production. Tables and illustrative figures are provided to further clarify the material. Organized sequentially to follow the normal life cycle of a project, this book helps project managers identify challenges before they become problems and resolve those issues that cannot be avoided.

Book Description
The Department of Defense has embarked on an ambitious program to apply the same engineering and management techniques to the acquisition of weapon system related software that has been applied to the acquisition of hardware in order to convert software management from an art to a technical discipline. This program has been formalized as the DOD Weapon System Software Management Program. This report presents a general overview of this Program, points out a limitation of the Program related to software test and evaluation, and discusses the software test and evaluation considerations that must be emphasized during the software development process.

Book Description
It is the megatrend in today's digital connected world, each and every personal gadget from palmtop, smart cellular, game set top box, to wearable devices, is getting thinner, lighter, shorter, smaller, and, of course, low power. The global competition and shorter product life cycle post a major challenge to the product development. It is getting harder to meet customer's demands on time because customers want the products to be done as early as possible. The reason is simple: competitions are so high and the technology advances are so fast. Because the time to market is very short for a new product introduction, the development of a new product is often started too hastily, no development plan, do not follow the golden process flow, no thorough reviews, incomplete test cases, waive bugs, etc., so engineers and developers have to repeat what they have done to fix things, in the end everything takes much longer than it should be. A good design flow can reduce time to market; meanwhile improve product's quality. Software development is usually questionable for its poor quality and unreliability. Buggy code, improper interfaces and missing features are almost encountered by the users of most embedded system. The embedded system developers are filled with consequence of missed deadlines, and huge cost overruns. Embedded system developers can benefit from high quality design flow by identifying optimal product architecture and executing a high quality design process. Embedded software development tools are also vitally important for productive development and keeping development in control. The purpose of writing this software design process flow is to ensure that, by following a high quality process and right set of development tools the developers shall possess the highest quality of products while maintaining a competitive schedule and a lower cost structure.Book Contents: Chapter 1: Introductions. Define embedded system and development process.Chapter 2: Describe a time-task span of the embedded system development process. Chapter 3, 4, 5, and 6: Each Chapter describes the four phases of the design and development process respectively, which are plan phase (Chapter 3), design phase (chapter 4), integrated development phase (Chapter 5), design verification and validation phase (Chapter 6). The design phase (Chapter 4) consists of six parallel stages: hardware, firmware, software, ASIC, FPGA, and mechanical (not each stage are required in all embedded system design). In this book, Chapter 4, firmware is considered equivalent to software for embedded system development process. Chapter 4 only deals with software design process, other design stages shall be covered by separate contents. In additional to development process, software design techniques are also discussed in chapter 4 and appendixes.Appendix 1 gives a template for Embedded System Development Plan. Appendix 4 to Appendix 9 provides coding guidelines and software review checklists. Appendix 10 to Appendix 12 lists few popular IDE development tools for the embedded system design.Audience: This book is intentionally written for: Managers and team leaders who need to guide embedded software design and development process.Software engineers and new designers who want to optimize software design and development process.New graduates and students who want to learn software design and development process.Interested readers who want to explore software design and development proce
