Performed software design studies for the Strategic Defense
Initiative's (SDI) space-borne sensor to detect and track ballistic
missiles during their boost phase. Supervised the writing of the initial
system-level specification for the spacecraft's operating system software.
Wrote the requirements for the operating system, file management, communications,
diagnostics, and fault tolerant control software. Developed and documented
the project-wide approach for developing fault tolerant software. Analyzed
Ada language for its BSTS suitability. Studied Ada's tasking model and
other real time and fault tolerant limitations. Designed and documented
task control scheme to meet the BSTS needs.
Wrote Operational Concept Document for the spacecraft's network of multi-
processing front-end, scalar and vector processors. The document functionally
described each processing device, the multiprocessing and networking
mechanisms, and the operating system software. For the Network Manager
portion of the BSTS operating system, wrote Software Requirements Specification
and Software Design Description.
Developed and gave numerous technical presentations to the prime contractor,
Air Force/Aerospace system review personnel, and the SDI Fault Tolerance
Expert Committee.
