Mission Critical Software Development for Avionic Systems

[cakmakci@my-deja.com]

This is probably a very general and a wide-scope question, and
it might already be a FAQ, but I am looking for some information or
rather pointers to software development for mission critical avionics
systems.

- I am particularly interested in hearing experience with COTS ROTS
for such applications,

- Development processes especially applicable for such system
software, for instance extra phases you would like to have in
developing such a software system,

 - Concerns for special programming techniques. This is probably a
naive question but would you have multi-threads in such an application?
What about optimization? I suspect compact code will improve the
reliability of such a system.

There are other issues I can not think of now. I will appreciate
any pointers / insight anyone can provide -preferably on the Internet-
about the subject.

Thanks.
