Abstractor aids common operating
environment
The Boeing Company has selected MapuSoft's OS Abstractor solution for integration in the current build of the System of Systems Common Operating Environment (SoSCOE) architecture.
The Boeing Company, acting as the lead systems integrator for the US Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS) programme, has selected MapuSoft's OS Abstractor solution for integration in the current build of the System of Systems Common Operating Environment (SoSCOE) architecture MapuSoft's OS Abstractor will enable SoSCOE to inter-operate across multiple operating systems and allow SoSCOE users to use an industry standard Posix application-programming interface (API) for software development

Debugger enhances support for Intel processors
Arium hardware-assisted debug solutions use a series of intuitive screens and dialogs with numerous viewing and customisation options.
MapuSoft's OS Abstractor with Posix product was chosen because of OS Abstractor's resident features, including its inherent flexibility, plus MapuSoft's expertise in the area of memory and thread management for leverage in developing additional OS abstraction capability enhancements.
"MapuSoft's OS Abstractor provides many OS back ends which will be a great benefit to SoSCOE, which runs in a variety of environments", said Al Williams, SoSCOE's Chief Architect.
OS Abstractor APIs give users the ability to effectively develop code independent of the underlying OS to protect software investment and to easily expand support to multiple operating systems.

New feature greatly expands eXtremeDB's ability to share data with systems ranging from mainframes to servers to desktop applications.
It consists of Basic and Posix components.
The Basic component offers a core set of abstraction APIs that are flexible and simpler for application development.
The Posix component offers industry standard APIs compliance for new code development and/or re-use of existing Posix code base across multiple OS platforms.
OS Abstractor protects software investment by eliminating the risks associated with OS selection and/or use of proprietary API features.
OS Abstractor allows developers to use a standard API interface across multiple OS platforms and greatly reduces the costs associated with code maintenance and learning multiple operating systems.
"Boeing's selection criteria were thorough and stringent and included various performance enhancement requirements along with ease of extending OS Abstractor to support a new OS".
"We are very much honoured to work with Boeing and their world class SoSCOE architecture", said Raj Johnson, President and CEO of MapuSoft Technologies.
In addition to OS Abstractor, MapuSoft also offers OS Changer and OS PAL products.
OS Changer protects user's existing software investment and knowledge base.
OS PAL (porting and abstraction lab) leverages on existing OS Abstractor and OS Changer technologies and provides an Eclipse based IDE along with optimised code generation to enable applications to work across multiple target OSs.
MapuSoft products are available in Europe from Logic Technology.
