Towards Safety Certification with Reusable SW Components in Space
Abstract
Software systems are becoming more and more relevant in all kind of industry domains and therefore, much more complex. This is leading to an increase of SW certification costs, especially in those domains with safety-relevant conditions, e.g., Space Onboard Computing. This paper firstly presents the ARTEMIS project SafeCer, a cross-domain project for re-use certification in several domains; secondly, the work that GMV and TAS-E will carry out on the Aerospace Demonstrator of SafeCer is introduced. This demonstrator will apply the SafeCer Generic Process Model for SW certification to a relevant SW functionality of on-board space systems through the usage of a selection of SafeCer notations and tools. The results to be obtained from this study will be analyzed with respect to the current ESA procedures and production costs, focusing on SW reuse capabilities, in order to assess the potential application to ECSS standards. New tools and methodologies will be presented to the community.
