Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) is a
promising resource sharing concept in the avionics
domain. It reduces weight and cost of current
aircrafts. Saving potentials rise with the evolution of
IMA, e.g. distributed IMA (DIMA). However, the
inherently rising number of functions and the
technological degrees of freedom make the selection
of the optimal DIMA architecture a complex task.
Complexity can be reduced by supporting the IMA
designer with solving subtasks of the design process
as mathematical optimization problems. Important
subtasks are the software and hardware mapping, i.e.
for a given aircraft structure finding the optimal
distribution of DIMA devices, and for a given
hardware topology finding the optimal distribution of
aircraft system functions. It is shown how to solve
these problems as multi-objective mathematical
programming problems for mass and cost objectives,
whereby optimizer input is automatically derived
from a DIMA architecture domain model. The
proposed methods are demonstrated on a reference
DIMA architecture consisting of several aircraft
systems and a state-of-the-art DIMA platform, which
has been constructed and optimized manually.
Optimization results reveal major optimization
potentials, all possible trade-offs, as well as
correlations between objectives. In summary, a
valuable support of the DIMA design process by
multi-criteria optimization with a practical example is
presented.
