Evaluation of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics for extreme cold environments
2018 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2018Deep space and Icy Moon missions (Titan, Enceladus, Ceres, Europa, & Ganymede) will need qualified extreme environment capable components for electronic systems located in extremities of their rovers and spacecraft. Commercial off the shelf (COTS) components would be advantageous to use for some aspects of such projects, given that they are easier to ...

Modifying Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Games for Use in Education
, 2011 The use of computer and video games in education is not a new phenomenon. However, the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) games, specifically the modification (“modding”) of them to allow for use in an educational setting, is a relatively new area that is gaining more traction in educational circles.

Lot reliability issues in commercial off the shelf (COTS) microelectronic devices
Microelectronics Reliability, 2009Three cases will point out as entire lots of unreliable microelectronic devices may reach the final user, without any warning. The conclusion is a warning against the many risks introduced for more and more small and medium end users of microelectronic devices by the lack of reliability culture.

The impact of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment on system test and diagnosis
Proceedings of IEEE International Test Conference - (ITC), 2002Improved interface standards and reduced design budgets dictate that commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment be more readily integrated into system design. Often COTS is chosen for its functional capabilities and electronic compatibilities with little regard to testability and maintainability features.

Obsolescence Management of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) in Defence Systems
2012About 70 % of a system life-cycle cost is during the operations phase. Support activities, including maintenance, upgrades and repairs, are high cost items. In the past decade, performance-based contracting has become a standard agreement between the OEM and the customer that defines a fixed price for a guaranteed level of system performance over a ...

Commercial Off-the-Shelf Games (COTS)
2016While there appears to be a growing acceptance of the use of games for learning (G4L), this acceptance is often focused on games designed specifically for learning, in other words, serious games where the educational purpose of the game is explicit and was likely part of the design goals right from the start.

Commercial-off-the shelf (COTS): a challenge to military equipment reliability
Proceedings of 1996 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium, 2002Commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) military equipment offers the promise of technology advancement, low cost and reduced acquisition time. Unfortunately, it also offers the opportunity for a reliability and logistics disaster because commercial parts, standards, and practices may not meet military requirements. Additionally, commercial vendors have little

COST (commercial off the shelf) distributed system for critical application
Proceedings. 11th IEEE International Conference and Workshop on the Engineering of Computer-Based Systems, 2004., 2004This paper deals with the distributed controller area network (CAN) based control system design for experimental autonomous locomotion robot (ALR) VUTBOT-2. It also features a system of aviation modules (SAM) description for airborne applications. Distributed control system of the ALR is generated by microprocessor units, which are linked by the CAN ...
