A Software Model Reuse Strategy for Brazilian Satellite Launcher

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to define a strategy for the generation of platform independent model (PIM) for the Brazilian satellite launcher (BSL) software, based on the model driven architecture (MDA) approach. To accomplish that, a generic software model is created, using design patterns, to represent a family of satellite launcher vehicles whose characteristics are similar. From this generic model, PIMs are generated for variations of launcher vehicles, based on MDA approach. This strategy can contribute to the development of the software for same-family satellite launcher vehicles, as it defines a systematic for activities related to software modeling, and also allows the increase of BSL software models reuse.
