MapuSoft's OS Abstractor Selected by Boeing for U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems.MOBILE, Ala. -- Today MapuSoft Technologies (MT) announced that The Boeing Company, acting as the Lead Systems Integrator (LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. ) for the U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS FCS - Frame Check Sequence ) program, has selected MapuSoft's OS Abstractor solution for integration in the current build of their System of Systems Common Operating Environment A uniform configuration of hardware and software throughout an organization. It is designed to eliminate software and data incompatibilities and improve troubleshooting. It implies the use of the same primary applications and Web browser as well as the same operating system, database (SoSCOE) architecture. MapuSoft's OS Abstractor will enable SoSCOE to inter-operate across multiple operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. and allow SoSCOE users to use an industry standard POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface for UNIX) An IEEE 1003.1 standard that defines the language interface between application programs and the Unix operating system. Application-Programming Interface (API) for software development. 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. 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 honored to work with Boeing and their world class SoSCOE architecture," said Raj Johnson, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

In addition to OS Abstractor, MapuSoft also offers OS Changer Changer The name given to a clearing member that is willing to assume the opposite position of a futures contract within a larger alternative exchange, of which it also is a clearing member. and OS PAL products. OS Changer protects user's existing software investment and knowledge base. OS PAL (OS Porting & Abstraction Lab) leverages on existing OS Abstractor and OS Changer technologies and provides an Eclipse based IDE along with optimized code generation to enable applications to work across multiple target OSs.
