Abstract

MITRE´s Evolvable Real-Time C3 (command, control and communications) project has developed an approach that would enable current real-time systems to evolve into the systems of the future. This paper first summarizes the design and implementation of an infrastructure for an evolvable real-time C3 system. Then, a detailed discussion of the infrastructure requirements for a survivable real-time C3 system is presented. Finally, security issues for survivability, as well as open implementation of the infrastructure are described. In particular, adaptable middleware for survivable systems is discussed
