Abstract

An SSCG process to develop software has been presented. It relies on the KDD autonomy to make decisions on how to analyze, design and implement avionics software applications. The approach moves away from conventional engineering solutions by developing software in an self-directed or autonomous manner instead of a purely-automated one (no deliberation involved) as current technologies proposes. The case study (DAFM) is an initial proof of concept of the methodology proposed. The case study paves the way towards an autonomous process for software development. It could also be extended system development, including autonomous assembly of system components.
