The book summarizes the findings and contributions of the European ARTEMIS project CESAR for
improving and enabling interoperability of methods tools and processes to meet the demands in
embedded systems development across four domains - avionics automotive automation and rail.
The contributions give insight to an improved engineering and safety process life-cycle for the
development of safety critical systems. They present new concept of engineering tools
integration platform to improve the development of safety critical embedded systems and
illustrate capacity of this framework for end-user instantiation to specific domain needs and
processes. They also advance state-of-the-art in component-based development as well as
component and system validation and verification with tool support. And finally they describe
industry relevant evaluated processes and methods especially designed for the embedded systems
sector as well as easy adoptable common interoperability principles for software tool
integration.
