The inherent logical makeup of digital systems presents the opportunity for improving the maintainability of complex avionic systems. While there was limited success in the early use of Built-In-Self-Test and Built-In-Test (BIST/BIT), higher levels of circuit integration now offer even greater opportunities and challenges to avionic systems designers. However, while past and current digital systems designs have BIST/BIT as an add-on feature, future avionic system designs must be designed for maintainability. Recently, improved techniques and tools to support design for maintainability have become available to avionics systems designers. If used appropriately, these new appproaches can lead to dramatic improvements in avionic systems maintainability. The objective of this symposium was to present, for review and discussion, advanced methods and tools to support design for avionic maintainability. Since modern avionic systems consist of programmable processors, both hardware and software design for maintainability issues and approaches were discussed.(Author)
