Abstract :
Honeywell is completing design and will build hardware for the new Boeing 777 integrated Airplane Information Management System (AIMS). AIMS functions have time constraints from hard real-time to non-real-time, and criticality levels from flight critical to nonessential. The challenge is that these functions share time, memory, and input/output (I/O) on a redundant, distributed multiprocessor. An innovative offline scheduling tool and table driven bus protocol control data transfers and Ada process synchronization with verifiable resource allocation, latency control, and performance
