SPICES

SPICES is a EUREKA-ITEA project on Support for Predictable Integration of mission Critical Embedded Systems. It has run from spring 2006 until fall 2009.

According to the general objectives of the project, the aim of the SPICES project is the proposal of a 'reconciled' approach, by means of new methods and tools to derive from extended AADL descriptions, component-based predictable implementations of mission-critical embedded systems associated with certification issues. We will extend this ADL (architecture description language) to support specific non-functional real-time embedded constraints and to provide run-time execution capabilities.

The project has adopted and contributes to two open technology standards: AADL (Architecture Analysis & Design Language, an SAE standard) on one hand, and Lightweight-CCM (a real-time embedded component-oriented software platform, an OMG standard).
