Deployment of model-based software development in safety-related applications: challenges and solutions scenarios

Abstract

Since the mid 1990s, model-based development techniques have been adopted for the development of embedded automotive control software. Nowadays, they are also increasingly being deployed in safety-related applications. In usage scenarios such as these, the requirements of standards and guidelines from the safety area have to be adapted and be mapped onto model-based development. This paper discusses the challenges that appear in the process and sketches possible solutions.
