Avionic Systems Design

Avionic Systems Design presents an engineering look at the impact of emerging policies - such as joint service programs and commercial co-developments - designed to broaden market sectors for real-time, embedded systems . It also touches on the different review and specification practices of DoD, NASA, and FAA.The topics cover a complete how to overview of the design process, including trade studies, detailed design, and formal reviews. In addition, the discussion links design decisions to a theoretical basis, including architecture integration strategy and communication models. The book also includes performance measurement analysis, interpretation of results, formulation of benchmarks, and numerous examples. Finally, it provides examples of the strategies and effects of requirements analysis and validation. An appendix offers an extensive list of acronyms.

John R. Newport graduated from Purdue University in 1983 with the Ph.D. in theoretical physics. Following graduate school, he worked for 11 years as an avionics consultant for the U.S. Department of Defense, gaining national recognition as an expert on embedded computer resources. He is the founder and president of the Systems Analysis Group, a private consulting firm. Dr. Newport is a member of the National Council on Systems Engineering, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the Society of Auto[1]motive Engineers. He has authored numerous technical reports and papers on embedded computer architecture and design. Also, he is a commercial pilot with instrument and multi-engine ratings.
