Abstract

Four areas of the OSIM (operating system interface for MATE) concept are discussed. The OSIM system architecture is described. OSIM´s functional objectives, including OSIM´s relationship to the POSIX standard, MCSS (MATE control and support software) rehost requirements, technical benefits in terms of technology insertion, and OSIM´s impact on MATE systems performance, are discussed. It is shown that the OSIM´s concept, and specifically MCSS Versions 6.0 and 7.0, represented major advances in MATE. In terms of cost, the concept represents reductions in ATE acquisition, maintenance, and total life-cycle cost
