  1. Air Traffic ControlSoftware System Failure Case Study – To-be Scenario Presented by Stanley Dam For SE 6361 Advanced Requirement Engineering 12/07/2013

  2. Summary of Problem • VCSU was shutdown on its own without warning after 49.7 days of operation • Backup system also failed within a minute after it was turned on • Air Traffic Controllers could not communicate with 400 airplanes they were responsible for • About 800 airplanes and 30,000 people were impacted • System was down for 3 ½ hours

  3. Four Worlds of REfor Air Traffic Control System . controls and communicates with needs to ensure safety of Airplane uses FAA/Air Traffic Controllers VSCS System contracts builds Harris Corp

  5. Conclusion of Problem • Inadequate Requirements • “Server is timed to shut down after 49.7 days of use in order to prevent a data overload” workaround should NOT be acceptable • Improper trainings for maintenance technicians

  6. Proposed Functional Requirements • The VCSU system shall report error to the System Manager • The System Manager shall display category 2 (CAT2) alert upon receipt of system error • The VCSU system shall not shutdown on CAT2 alert or below • The VCSU system shall reset timer when it reaches zero without human intervention

  7. Proposed Non-Functional Requirements • VCSU system shall continue operation after reporting any errors to the System Manager • System uptime should be equal or exceed 99.99% by a running primary redundancy backup system and a standby secondary backup system • System level test of backup system should be done every 30 days to ensure proper functions

  8. Concept of Operations (CONOPS) Air Traffic Controller Maintenance Technician displays errors uses System Manager VSCS VCSU (server) monitors / reports monitors
