Chess software

This research was supported by NIH Grant CA-17367 to R.B., and NATO Grant 1809 awarded jointly to R.B. and N.H. We thank the administrative and technical staff of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) for their enthusiastic assistance. We would like to thank Dr. Douglas M. Ho for helpful discussions. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude for the technical and computer software assistance provided to us by M. R. Antonio (M.S.U.) and V. Bakirtzis (Bell Labs). 

CHESS project suggested that resorting to a reference software architecture in combination with a model-based component-oriented development process can be a very effective strategy for the industrial development of real-time embedded software [11]. A reference software architecture can be thought of as a template architectural blueprint defining the methodology and architectural practices that form a common baseline solution for software systems of a specific domain. A reference architecture exhibits at least the following traits, as defined in [10].
