The choice of an adequate notation and subsequent system formalization are the crucial points for the design of cyber-physical systems (CPSs). Here, an appropriate notation allows an explicit specification of the deterministic system behavior for specified initial states and inputs. We base our study on an industrial example (water tank) that comprises nominal as well as safety-critical states, and focus on the notation’s support to validate/verify crucial safety properties. Several industrial notations (e.g. Matlab/Simulink©) to design and simulate such a hybrid system have been tried based on our physical model. In addition, we remodel our example using the well-founded mathematical formalism of hybrid automata. It enables us to formally express and verify important safety properties using the theorem prover KeYmaera

With the recent expansion of specialized databases and departure from the "one size fits all" paradigm, engineers might decide to use multiple databases. Each database holds a representation of a data object but offers transactions and consistency guarantees only locally. Existing solutions either require additional coding or do not provide global ACID transactions. In this paper, we present fed-agent, a transactional layer that provides global consistency and ACID transactions for single data objects within multidatabase systems. It requires no additional coding besides configuration files. We show that fed-agent scales linearly and introduces an overhead small enough for most microservice solutions.

This article summarizes avionics safety-critical software development methodologies and implications of the DO-178C standard from an Agile application perspective. We explain the safety-critical software categorization. It also outlines the main differences and advantages of different approaches to the development process, from Waterfall through the V-model to Iterative and Incremental. Agile principles are explained as well as a Scrum – which is a popular framework in the non-safety-critical software industry. The application of Agile, for safety-critical software considerations, is based on the practical knowledge of the authors, and looks at the potential solution from a DO-178C standard, size of the project, scalability, and organizational culture points of view. Definition of the Agile type of framework, consistent with the certification process and existing standards, has been highlighted as a potential game-changer for the avionics industry.

Artykuł podsumowuje metody rozwoju oprogramowania krytycznego dla bezpieczeństwa, oraz wpływ standardu DO-178C na potencjalne zastosowanie metod zwinnych. Wyjaśniamy w nim także kategoryzację oprogramowania krytycznego w systemach lotniczych. Artykul opisuje różnice w podejściu do procesu tworzenia oprogramowania od metody kaskadowej, przez model V, aż do metody iteracyjnej i przyrostowej, wraz ze wskazaniem ich największych zalet. Opisane zostały najważniejsze zasady leżące u podstaw metod zwinnych, oraz Scrum jako popularny framework stosowany w tworzeniu oprogramowania nie-krytycznego. Analiza możliwości zastosowania metod zwinnych do tworzenia oprogramowania krytycznego dla bezpieczeństwa w awionice została oparta na praktycznym doświadczeniu autorów. Uwzględnia wymagania standardu DO-178C, wielkość projektu, skalowalność metody, oraz kulturę organizacji. Zdefniowanie zwinnej metody ramowej tworzenia oprogramownia krytycznego dla bezpieczeństwa, spójnej z procesem certyfikacji i istniejącymi standardami zostało uznane za potencjalny przełom dla rozwoju systemów awioniki.
