Seamless Life-Cycle Collaboration for Safety-Critical Systems Engineering

Dr. Christian El SalloumAVL List GmbH


Today’s situation at industrial companies

Tool Layer

• High manual effort to handle data

• Impact on quality and safety

!!

• Fragmented IT

• High maintenance costs

!!

Industrial

Workflows


The tool-integration problem

Point-to-point Integrationsdon’t scale

Monocultureslock you in

Maintenance, management,and change costs go up over time

Creating newintegrations isunpredictable

Ongoing and unexpectedcosts drain resources

Past choicesrestrict present

action andfuture vision


The CRYSTAL Vision

Tool Layer


CRYSTAL has the critical mass to generate impact

68 partners from 10 countries

€82M budget

European key players (competitors) from different industrial domains

Large companies developing embedded systems act as technology users and case providers

Large tool providers, SMEs and researchers as technology providers


Standardize tool interaction, but not a tool’s capabilities!

Apply the Interoperability Specification (IOS) as the central standard

Build on existing standards whenever reasonable

CRYSTAL TECHNICAL APPROACH


Integration Technologies:

Syncing vs. Linking


OPTION A: SYNCING DATA BETWEEN TOOLS

Example: Synchronize Unit Under Test (UUT) description in a Test Management system with Bill of Material (BOM) in a PLM system

automatic syncing via mapping table

SYNCING PROS & CONS

Benefits

• The user has all his data in its favorite tool• No significant disruption in his workflow and user experience

• Specialized sync tools exist on the market • Manage synchronization and conflict resolution in a transparent way

• Sync tool vendors takes care that all adaptors are kept up-to-date

Challenges• Data redundancy

• Who should be the master?

• Duplication of tool functionalities• Often a consequence of data redundancy

OSLC Benefits & Challenges

Benefits• Open standard & tool vendor agnostic• No redundant data since data is not copied but linked• Provides Delegated User Interface

• Generate views from one tool in the GUI of another tool

Challenges• Link consistency has to be maintained over time• Base line management over distributed data stores has to be

solved• Flexible license model required • OSLC has still to become a widely industrially accepted standard

Project Outcomes

CRYSTAL Interoperability Specification (IOS) Open specification Enables seamless integration of tools and full

traceability across the product life cycle

CRYSTAL IOS compliant Implementations Engineering Tools SDKs for developing IOS adaptors Tools for specifying and instantiating a System

Engineering Environment (platform builder)

CRYSTAL Use-Cases as reference scenarios Demonstrators with high level of maturity


Lessons Learned & Road to Success

Build on a technically sound foundation CRYSTAL is based on successful principles like the Linked Data

principles defined by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)

Reach a critical mass CRYSTAL motivated a large group of stakeholders to make initial

investments in the technology (AIPP and external stakeholders)

Ensure openness & stability CRYSTAL actively supported the creation of eco-systems that creates

and govern open standards (e.g. OSLC, FMI, ASAM …) based on the developed specifications

Facilitate uptake by new stakeholders CRYSTAL provides tools to ease the adoption of the technology

CRYSTAL provides reference solutions (demonstrators)

CRYSTAL builds up an developer community


Conclusion & Market Innovation

Reduced system development costs due to smart integration of tools

Increased flexibility for OEMs Avoidance of vendor-lock-in

New market opportunities for tool providers Facilitate innovation and market entry Great opportunities for SMEs

Ensure Europe’s leading edge position in development of safety-critical cyber-physical systems
