Abstract
The CESAR project aims at elaborating a Reference Technology Platform usable across several application domains (Aeronautics, Automotive, Industrial Automation, Railway and Space) for the cost effective development and validation of safety related embedded systems. Safety and, more generally, dependability are therefore major topics addressed by the project. This paper focuses on the work performed on safety requirements and approaches to be supported by a common Reference Technology Platform. We analyse and compare the industrial practice, applicable standards and state of the art so as to identify which and how safety views should be supported. We focus in particular on the major axes investigated by the project, formal model-based techniques for requirements engineering and component-based engineering. Preliminary realisations and case studies confirm the interest and provide refined requirements for the final version of the platform.
