SAE AS4893 Generic Open Architecture (GOA) framework

The generic open architecture (GOA) framework is a Society of Automotive (SAE) Avionics Systems Division standard, SAE AS4893. The GOA framework was developed as a framework for discussing open systems architecture and for identifying critical components and interfaces. The GOA framework is being used as a framework within the avionics community for developing a preferred set of interface standards catalog. This paper provides an overview of the GOA framework and other activities on-going within the SAE AS5C GOA subcommittee.
