Software Design Patterns Used to Implement High Availability Systems

Friday, February 1st, 2008

SENSQ 5317

Union Switch and Signal (US&S) builds large distributed systems that are used to manage rail traffic. The systems are required to be available to users at or above 99.99% of the time. This requirement is met through the combination of off-the-shelf hardware components and software design. In this talk, the software design patterns that are used to create mission critical systems will be presented and discussed. US&S has been deploying this system around the world to control major freight rail networks and mass transit systems for over 10 years. The speaker is Jim Rudakewiz, who is the Chief System Engineer in the Automation and Information Systems Group of US&S.
