Important results from the project
The project have opened up larger markets for software-intensive component developers, and have allowed cost-effective entrance of new evolving markets for safety-critical products. A framework that is expected to be instrumental in the development and certification of future products in a broad range of industrial domains is slowly, but steadily, emerging. The strong emphasis on demonstration is a key in ensuring applicability of the results.
Expected long term effects
The project contributed to major benefits, e.g.: - Cross-domain fertilization of state-of-the-art safety practices - Larger market for development of safety relevant systems - Increased cost efficiency without compromising safety - Increased compliance with new and existing standards without compromising safety - Growth of the cross-domain market for safety critical software components - Competitive advantages for tool providers and industrial users - Strengthening of industry-academic collaboration - Increased attention to safety certification in scientific research
Approach and implementation
Based on requirements collected in WP1, MDH had been leading the technology development in WP2, including major contributions to the development of (1) a generic process model for component-based development and composable certification, (2) a generic component model providing basis for extending a set of actual component models with constructs required to support the composable certification approach, and (3) techniques for the argumentation of safety in a composable setting.
