Method, device and computer program for the automatic installation or uninstallation of software modules on equipment on board an aircraft

摘要

The automatic installation and uninstallation of software modules on equipment on an aircraft. For each reference of an obtained list of references of software modules to be installed or uninstalled, resolution rules linked to an operation associated with the software module in question are identified. The rules comprise at least one reference to an operation of installing or uninstalling at least the software module in question and a list of actions to be performed. For each reference on the obtained list, a list of references of operations to be carried out is determined depending on the obtained list and the identified resolution rules. A list of actions to be performed is determined depending on the list of references of operations to be carried out and the identified resolution rules. At least one referenced action on the list of actions to be performed is executed by calling a specific software agent.

1. A method for installing or uninstalling, for a central loading system, at least one software module on an on-board item of equipment of a system comprising a plurality of on-board items of equipment, the equipment being separate from the centralized loading system, at least one operation being associated with said at least one software module, the centralized loading system comprising a management module, a resolution engine and an actions execution module, said method comprising the following steps,
obtaining, by the management module, a list of at least one reference of a software module to be installed or uninstalled; for each software module reference on the obtained list,
identifying, by the resolution engine, resolution rules linked to an operation associated with the software module in question, said resolution rules comprising at least one reference to an operation of installation or uninstallation of at least the software module in question on an on-board item of equipment of said system and a list comprising at least one reference of an action to be performed anddetermining, by the resolution engine, a list of at least one reference of an operation to be carried out depending on said obtained list and said identified resolution rules; determining, by the resolution engine, a list of at least one reference of an action to be performed depending on said list of at least one reference of an operation to be carried out and said identified resolution rules; and executing, by the actions execution module, at least one referenced action on said list of at least one reference of a determined action to be performed, the execution of said at least one referenced action calling a software agent specific to an item of equipment separate from the central loading system.
