System architects are accustomed to developing systems hosted in federated environments that allow for developmental independence. However the system boundaries are different when systems are hosted in an Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) platform. The boundaries lie within shared resources, and thus lead to greater dependencies between systems. This drives new design considerations for system architects. The natural tendency is to leverage traditional federated design concepts when building systems for IMA environments, but this can lead to inefficient use of system resources, and a lack of preparedness for the inevitable change that will occur within the integrated set of systems. IMA has become a standard in the civil and military aviation industries, so it is important to understand these new design considerations.
