Abstract
For developing embedded safety critical systems, industrial companies have to face increasing complexity and variety 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: e.g. Safety) in the absence of internationally recognized open standards. CESAR has been established under ARTEMIS, the European Union’s Joint Technology Initiative for research in embedded systems, with the aim to improve this situation and this pa-per will explain what CESAR’s objectives are, how they are expected to be achieved and, in particular, how current best practice can ensure that safety engineering requirements can be met.
