The ELISA project has taken on the challenge to make it easier for companies to build and certify Linux-based safety-critical applications. ELISA members are defining and maintaining a common set of elements, processes and tools that can be incorporated into specific Linux-based, safety-critical systems amenable to safety certification.
This session will give an overview of the goals and technical strategy of the ELISA project. It provides information about the different work groups, their interaction, and contributions. These work groups focus on Linux Features for Safety-Critical Systems, Software Architecture, Open Source Engineering Process, Tool Investigation and Code Improvement. They are complemented by vertical use case working groups from the field of Automotive, Medical and Aerospace. Methodologies and tools in use, existing challenges, and why the different puzzle pieces are all needed for enabling Linux in safety-critical applications, are covered.
Attendees will leave the session with an understanding where the ELISA project stands today and what comes next. A discussion of how this work can complement other Linaro initiatives will be explored.
