Extract

Many papers have dealt with the advantages of using digital techniques and digital hardware in avionic systems. Attention has also been devoted to the special problems of software and the programming of digital computers, although not much of it has been devoted to specifically avionic applications. Very little has been published on the interaction between the hardware and software aspects of the design of avionic systems or on the trade-offs which are possible between the two. This paper deals with various aspects of these trade-offs.
