A selection of challenges for software systems were introduced that arise from the special circumstances of constellation systems. These challenges illustrate a variety of the types of problems that must be addressed related to software quality, automation, autonomicity and autonomy. For example, constellation program-level systems engineering and integration activities are tasked with ensuring interoperability, reuse, compatibility, and evolutionary upgrade of all systems. To further compound the challenges, constellation missions represent a mixing of the human space-flight processes with those of NASA's robotic exploration missions. These factors and others give rise to many unique and/or significantly more complex engineering than has been previously faced in the development of space systems. In this context, software reliability and safety become critical qualities for what will arguably be the most complex software systems artifact ever created","PeriodicalId":239972,"journal":{"name":"Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Engineering of Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (EASe'07)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125251363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This adversely affects interoperability. Seamless Mobility is one example of how next generation networks and devices require a new approach for network management. This letter is an abstract of my ICAC 2006 keynote, which describes how our new FOCALE architecture can be used in such an environment. This approach establishes a common \"lingua franca\" through the combination of information models and knowledge engineering, which together can be used to discover and program semantically similar functionality for heterogeneous devices regardless of the data and language used by each device. FOCALE is a semantically rich, context-aware, policy-based architecture for orchestrating the behavior of heterogeneous and distributed computing resources","PeriodicalId":239972,"journal":{"name":"Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Engineering of Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (EASe'07)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131091913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
