Abstract

Complex software systems deployed in safety-critical and business-critical application domains (e.g., avionics, defence, healthcare) are meant to provide service for decades. Although many of these systems withstand technological evolution and infrequently undergo substantial changes, they will likely face software obsolescence problems during their lifetime. Resolving these obsolescence problems is an expensive, time-consuming and labour intensive process. This project investigates technical obsolescence problems in safety-related software for airborne systems, examines the applicability of obsolescence management strategies and explores methods to automate the resolution of software obsolescence.
