Combat Software Complexity With Java Isolation Mechanisms.

The article focuses on the issue regarding the rapid expansion of complexity of embedded-system software in the U.S. According to the article, exponential improvements in hardware capacity made possible by Moore's Law have expanded the size and complexity of embedded-system software. In response to this situation, the amount of software deployed in each new revision of many embedded software products doubles every 18-36 months. One method to tackling the growing size and complexity of modern embedded-system software is to divide these large systems into many smaller components, each isolated from its neighbors by abstract encapsulation and isolation barriers.
