About
Current software development methodologies have proven to be ineffective for meeting the rising demand for fast production of reliable software for hard real-time computer systems. A computer-aided, rapid prototyping system (CAPS) based on a Prototype System Description Language (PSDL) and a set of software tools including an Execution Support System (ESS), has been proposed by other research and provides a promising and cost effective alternative to the traditional development life cycle of these systems. This study proposes a four function design for the dynamic scheduler of the CAPS ESS. This design includes a method for invoking processes for the ESS static scheduler and translator, a scheduling algorithm for the scheduling of the prototype's non-time critical processes, and a method for error and interrupt handling during prototype execution.

  1. 1

    How does Eaton’s critique of traditional software development methodologies mirror the broader human desire to find efficiency and speed in stagnant systems?

  2. 2

    In what ways does the concept of rapid prototyping challenge our cultural obsession with getting things "right" on the first try, both in technology and in personal projects?

  3. 3

    Eaton focuses heavily on hard real-time computer systems where failure is not an option; how do you manage strict deadlines and high-stakes environments in your own professional or personal life?
