XANDAR partners published a second whitepaper on the security process, which is a holistic approach where the threats towards safety-critical embedded systems are carefully considered. The document provides an introduction on the security process provided by the X-by-Construction (XbC) toolchain and it demonstrates the feasibility on automating the development of Read more…
In the context of the project dissemination activities, XANDAR was presented on a Digitized Transport Special session that was held at DLR’s premises in Braunschweig, on Thursday 14th of December. The session was organized by SMART4ALL H2020 project, aiming, among else, to foster knowledge transfer and offer networking opportunities to Read more…
In their first whitepaper, the XANDAR partners give a concise overview of the design framework developed during the three-year project. The document explains the need for a model-based treatment of safety, security, and timing requirements, introduces the XANDAR consortium, and describes how the partners leverage the X-by-Construction (XbC) paradigm to support developers in the Read more…
In October 2023, the XANDAR consortium met for its fourth and final face-to-face meeting on the island of Corfu in Greece. With the XANDAR project due to end in December 2023, the technical focus of the four-day meeting was on the finalization of remaining development tasks and a thorough discussion of Read more…
The XANDAR Project Belfast team participated in the 36th IEEE SOC Conference, which was held between 5th-8th September 2023 in Santa Clara, at the heart of Silicon Vally in US. The International IEEE System-on-Chip (SoC) conference attracts academic and industrial representatives to showcase the latest advancement on different verticals of Read more…
Today’s Continuous Integration (CI) and Build Pipelines can only partially ensure automated checks of non-functional requirements and properties. This means that a set of manual tests, which may be extensive, needs to be performed before each release. However, some of these non-functional tests can be automated using suitable tools and Read more…
In XANDAR project, a new toolchain is being developed that is able to handle embedded applications with diverse safety and security requirements. Considering the high complexity of such systems, the heterogeneity of the involved components (and their tolerance in errors), and the use of mechanisms that increase the trust to Read more…
At the end of March 2023, the XANDAR consortium came together for its third major face-to-face meeting. This three-day event took place at a strategically important time in the course of the project: with the first experimental toolchain evaluation phase just completed, the use case providers were able to give insightful Read more…
For second consecutive year, XANDAR project participated in the Embedded World Exhibition & Conference 2023, one of the biggest electronics shows in Europe. This prestigious global event for the embedded community took place in Nuremberg on March 14 – 16 covering the entire spectrum of embedded systems– from components, modules and Read more…
When emerging segments such as Regional Air Mobility (RAM) are investigated, some challenging aspects arise. For the RAM vision, the increased usage of light transport vehicles in the overall airspace is targeted. As a representation of corresponding vehicles, a simulated flight of a Cessna is shown on Figure 1. With Read more…
