Good luck. There's so much diversity in the equipment, payloads and use cases for these systems that it's incredibly difficult to standardize. Cutting integration costs has been a dream for many years, but previous standards introduced more complexity than they eliminated.
- spc476 11y agoGo back to the late 70s/early 80s and marvel at the incredible diversity in computers, most with unique operating systems. Standardiztion will happen eventually.
- slavik81 11y agoIt's a good point that we've seen this before. I'm under the impression that many early computer standards were essentially de facto standards caused by everyone trying to be compatible with a market leader. e.g. "Unix-like" or "IBM PC compatible". That's probably not the only way, though. I guess the real question is "how are successful standards created?"
