A Software Safety Certification Tool for Automatically Generated Guidance, Navigation and Control Code
2008
IEEE Aerospace Conference. Proceedings
Specifically, the AutoCert tool supports certification by formally verifying that the generated code is free of different safety violations, by constructing an independently verifiable certificate, and ...
Since the direct V&V of code generators is too laborious and complicated due to their complex (and often proprietary) nature, we have developed a generator plug-in to support the subsequent certification ...
Specifically, our tool supports certification by formally verifying that the generated code is free of a range of safety violations, by constructing an independently verifiable certificate, and by explaining ...

On the Use of Safety Certification Practices in Autonomous Field Robot Software Development: A Systematic Mapping Study
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The majority of the papers propose various solutions to achieve safety, and about half of the papers refer to non-standardised approaches that mainly address the methodical rather than the development ...
The purpose of the study is to identify practices used for the development of autonomous field robots and how these practices relate to available safety standards. ...

Perspectives on software safety case development for unmanned aircraft
2012
IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2012)
This paper provides a discussion of our experiences pertaining to (a) the methodology for creating and structuring safety arguments containing heterogeneous reasoning and information (b) the comprehensibility ...
Our approach combines formal and non-formal reasoning, yielding a semi-automatically assembled safety case, in which part of the argument for autopilot software safety is automatically generated from formal ...
Through this approach, we are able to integrate formal reasoning into the construction of a (software) safety case. ...

New challenges in certification for aircraft software
2011
Proceedings of the ninth ACM international conference on Embedded software - EMSOFT '11
We outline the current approach to certification of aircraft software, and the rôle of the DO-178B guidelines. We consider evidence for its effectiveness and discuss possible explanations for this. ...
We then describe how changes in aircraft systems and in the air traffic system pose new challenges for certification, chiefly by increasing the extent of interaction and integration. ...
One, relatively new, approach requires the "applicant" to develop a safety case [8, 18] that makes explicit the claims, evidence, and argument for the safety of the system; the general content or form ...

Robotics and Integrated Formal Methods: Necessity Meets Opportunity
[chapter]
2018
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This, together with the sheer complexity of robotic systems, leads us to argue that diverse formal techniques must be integrated in order to develop, verify, and provide certification evidence for, robotic ...
Furthermore, we propose the fast evolving field of robotics as an ideal catalyst for the advancement of integrated formal methods research, helping to drive the field in new and exciting directions and ...
This approach could also aid in the verification of heterogeneous teams of robots as discussed in §2.3. ...

On Software Certification: We Need Product-Focused Approaches
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper we begin by examining the "certification" of a consumer product, a baby walker, that is product-focused, i.e., the certification process requires the performance of precisely defined tests ...
We then review current practices in software certification and contrast the software regime's process-oriented approach to certification with the product-oriented approach typically used in other engineering ...
Structural coverage for testing plays a key role in development and certification of safety-critical software. ...
