Industry Initiatives
A number of industry initiatives are making a substantial investment to adopt the Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) standard and related technologies as part of a move toward a predictable, model-based systems engineering practice.
| Initiative Name | Description of Initiative | Description of Project |
|---|---|---|
| ARTIST/ARTIST2 | Network of Excellence on Embedded Systems Design | Sponsored the International UML/AADL workshop series |
| ASSERT | Group funded by the European Commission (EC) | Engaged in a study of a proof-based engineering approach; carrying out pilot projects on requirements from existing (ATV, Proteus) and for future missions (Aurora and GMES) |
| AVSI (pdf, 667 kb) | Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute | Approach uses the Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL). Initial proof of concept prototype of a 3 tier model of an aircraft was completed in less than 2 months. AVSI is adopting the SEI architecture-centric, model-based approach to improve software-reliant aircraft system development and certification. In Dec. 2008, the AVSI executive board approved a $40M 3-4 year project based on a successful proof of concept demonstration using the SEI AADL toolset. |
| COTRE | Avionics group led by Airbus in France | Chose AADL for its ability to combine static and dynamic architecture description in a single model, reducing the number of models to be valdiated |
| ESA | European Space Agency | Chose AADL in a study of satellite architecture, as part of an effort to reduce the system time-to-market and operational cost through proof-based engineering from a validated system family architecture |
| SPICES | Support for Predictable Integration of mission Critical Embedded Systems | Focuses on a model-based approach for mission-critical embedded systems, with AADL as a key technology to model the runtime architecture |
| TOPCASED | The Toolkit In OPen source for Critical Applications & SystEms Development | Aims to provide a tool chain infrastructure for embedded systems engineering, including AADL |
