1 AIRBUS Avionics and Simulation Products Open Source modeling tools in embedded projects A key factor in improving productivity and maintainability Presented by P. Gaufillet With the support of P. Farail and M.L. Valentin

2 Software Development Tools A more and more complex context Growing complexity of embedded SW Growing need for Engineering Tools Requirement engineering Dependability Long Term Durability SW production framework Maturity Dependability Productivity Long Term Durability Extended Enterprise Productivity Process management Data flow Dependability Long Term Durability Full MBSE Formal methods A320 A340 A380 A350 A3OX Aircraft Programs

3 Software Development Tools A brief History In-House development ü Process and conf. mgt: MARCEL, PALLAS ü Design support : PICL, SAO ü Requirements traceability : TabTrace, Gmat, Ouate ü Test environment : AUTAN ü Code Generation : CLARA, CAPITOLE ü Rules verification : VerifNRC L Developing tools requires specific skills e.g. : user friendly GUI, complex mathematical basis, team work L Heavy costs of developt / maintenance L Clearly out of Airbus core business A320 A340 A380 A350 Commercial tools ü Process and conf. mgt : Clearcase ü Design support : STOOD, SCADE, ObjectGeode, Rose ü Requirements traceability : RTM, DOORS, Reqtify ü Test environment : RTRT, System Test ü Code Generation : SCADE/KCG ü Rules verification : Prolint L Risk of vendor lock-in L Customization to support our process is required and deployment in extended enterprise is often expensive L Long term availability not guaranteed

4 Open Source A better solution for Engineering Tools? Requirements Master tools Ensure tools durability in line with aircraft product lifecycle Adapt tools to our process Interoperability with Open Standards Lower vendor lock-in Easier deployment in extended enterprise Optimize Evolution and Maintenance costs Deploy Training & Knowledge Open Source Strengths Availability of source code Community of Users and Contributors Based on Open Standards Low Deployment Cost Involvement of Universities/Schools Success Conditions Build a viable community Organize the ecosystem

5 Open Source A brief reminder Based on Copyright Open Source is not the public domain Open Source = Free Software (free as in freedom) A software is considered as Open Source when it is distributed under a license giving the user the OSS freedoms as defined by OSI or FSF Licenses may also impose some obligations on the distribution (*) As defined by the Free Software Foundation

6 TOPCASED Set up A matter of collaboration Exchanges in various networks ( ) With suppliers and partners Within EADS R&T network With local universities and industries (cluster Aerospace Valley beginnings) Interest largely shared Launch a collaborative project of engineering workbench Supporting critical systems development Based on open source components With an open source license

7 TOPCASED Goals A modular Model Based System/Software Engineering workbench Preparing the Long Term Support of these engineering tools Reducing embedded system development cost Integrating cutting edge research results Enforcing relationships between universities, industries and SMEs

8 TOPCASED Timeline Start of usage at High graduate School First projects by industrial partners Need to organize recurring maintenance Start of experimentations 2009 First pilot software projects First pilot system projects Hardware tests Migration of legacy projects New software pilot projects

9 ITEA OPEES 2009 / 2012 Mission ü Ensure Very Long Term Support of critical and embedded systems engineering technologies including Topcased and other projects (Geneauto, Frama-C, etc.) Towards a federation of Industrial Users, Service Providers and Universities ü Build a sustainable ecosystem around a sustainable organization: share components and services ü Avoid the creation of one ecosystem per industrial user: share roadmap and maintenance costs
