NordiaSoft R-Check SCA Adapter
NordiaSoft SCARI Software Suite Delivers Full SCA Solution “The SCARI Core Framework has gone through SCA certification testing with great success, and is the only COTS core framework that is currently deployed in the battlefield”. Steve Bernier, NordiaSoft CEO.
NordiaSoft SCARI Software Suite flagship product includes a full-implementation, high-performance core framework developed in close collaboration with radio manufacturers and SDR developers.
Why should you consider the SCARI Software Suite? • fast, cost-effective solution to create fully functional SCA-compliant products • the only COTS solution currently deployed in the battlefield • backed by a team dedicated to SCA development technologies • decades of combined expertise and commitment to provide business-driven solutions, excellent support and state-of-the-art training • flexible licensing arrangements
Is the SCARI Software Suite a full implementation of the SCA specification? Unlike other commercially available core frameworks, the SCARI Software Suite is a full implementation of the SCA 2.2.2, containing all the optional features a customer might need. For developers, this means no surprises in the middle of a project. And, since the NordiaSoft team of engineers helped develop the SCA and wrote the open-source reference implementation (SCA RI), nobody is better versed in the intricacies of the standard.
Is the core framework ‘battle proven’? To date, the SCARI CF is the only commercially available core framework that has been deployed on a military radio. It is used on thousands of military radios currently deployed by armed forces in battlefields across the globe.
Will SCARI run on your platform? For more information please contact: info@nordiasoft.com www.nordiasoft.com
The NordiaSoft SCARI Core Framework supports a large combination of processors and operating systems. NordiaSoft’s team works closely with customers to optimize the software for their specific platforms. SCARI users include dozens of organizations in 17 countries, including
military radio manufacturers, commercial equipment manufacturers and government and civil R&D organizations. NordiaSoft has extensive experience over multiple cycles of customizing the SCARI Software Suite for different platforms.
What about performance? The NordiaSoft SCARI CF has the most comprehensive set of performance optimizations of any commercial core framework, in addition to a very small memory footprint. The team continues to work closely with ORB and “The team that OS vendors to achieve the best performance originally designed the possible for every operating environment. SCARI Software Suite is What about modeling and source the foundation of code generation? NordiaSoft, and this continuity of personnel The source code generated by the NordiaSoft SCA Architect, runs on all platforms the core will ensure an framework supports. There is no need uninterrupted to evolution change the generated source code to go from of the product”. one platform to another. In addition, NordiaSoft SCA Architect is the only SCA tool on the Steve Bernier, market to offer zero-merge code generation. NordiaSoft CEO The tool allows software designers to go back to their original model and, through iterations, successively increase functionality. When the models are changed and source code is re-generated, there is no need to merge source code.
Is support available to help customers get up and running on the SCARI Software Suite? NordiaSoft offers consulting and mentoring services, as well advanced training workshops to SCARI users. Customers can arrange private courses held at their sites, or can attend open to all sessions that NordiaSoft periodically organizes at selected locations. NordiaSoft training courses are exceptionally helpful to start SCA development.

Les a entes énoncées dans votre entente de rendement appartiennent à deux catégories : objectifs de travail et compétences.
Compétences
Objectifs de travail • Les objectifs de travail sont de brèves descriptions de ce que vous devriez accomplir au travail. Ils décrivent les résultats que vous devriez obtenir pour l’année qui vient. • Toutes les ententes de rendement devraient comporter de trois à six objectifs de travail découlant de priorités et engagements en cascade.
• Les compétences renvoient aux comportements a endus – elles décrivent comment vous devriez arriver à accomplir votre travail et à a eindre vos objectifs. Les quatre compétences essentielles sont : • Faire preuve d’intégrité et de respect; • Réflexion approfondie;
• Les objectifs devraient être «SMART» : spécifiques, mesurables, a eignables, réalistes et temporels.
• Travailler efficacement avec les autres; • Faire preuve d’initiative et être orienté vers l’action.
