PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF VEHICLE CONTROLS WITHIN A DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING ARCHITECTURE

Discusses the practical application of synthesis techniques for the global integration of vehicle subsystem controllers into a high performance system - the M1A2 Main Battle Tank. The synthesis techniques address the allocation of performance specifications to subsystems so as to achieve a reliable and verifiable control system design. Such an approach allows the concurrent development of multiple subsystems, each possessing robust performance characteristics. An overview of these techniques is presented, and a particular focus is on a method to construct data communication between a loosely coupled set of computer controlled subsystems.
