Cost-efficient methods and processes for safety relevant embedded systems
The embedded safety-critical systems design and development industry is facing increasing complexity and variety of systems
and devices, coupled with increasing regulatory constraints while costs, performances and time to market are constantly challenged.
This has led to a profusion of enablers (new processes, methods and tools), which are neither integrated
nor interoperable because they have been developed more or less independently, addressing only a part of the complexity issue,
such as safety. The absence of internationally recognized open standards is a limiting factor in terms of industrial performance
when companies have to select among these enablers.
CESAR will bring significant and conclusive innovations
in the two most improvable systems engineering disciplines:
- Requirements engineering in particular through formalization
of multi viewpoint and multi criteria requirements,
- Component based engineering applied to design space exploration
comprising multi-view/multi-criteria architecture trade-offs.
In addition CESAR intends to provide industrial companies
with a breakthrough in system development by deploying a customizable systems engineering ‘Reference Technology Platform’
(RTP) making it possible to integrate or interoperate existing or emerging available technologies. This will be a significant
step forward in terms of industrial performance improvement that will help to establish de-facto standards and contribute
to the standardization effort from a European perspective.
Relying on industrial use-cases and scenarios,
CESAR is strongly industry driven. It will address societal safety, mobility and environmental demands from a multi-domain
point of view, relying on high maturity inputs (TRL 4) and target high maturity outputs (TRL 6).
