Abstract

Definition The term Pilot Application (PA) refers to the development process of an example application, which has the intention to serve as a source of inspiration in terms of requirement elicitation and evaluation of the Reference Technology Platform (RTP) (extracted from[155]).

Notes

  1. 1.

    In particular, the reader may refer to Sect. 1.4

  2. 2.

    Scenario: a selected and limited part of a Pilot Application with the purpose of highlighting an important aspect with respect to the development and evaluation of the RTP (extracted from [155]).

  3. 3.

    In many of today’s trucks an electro-pneumatic system is applied, instead of a BBW system.

  4. 4.

    EAST-ADL is an Architecture Description Language (ADL), aligned with the more recent AUTOSAR [11] automotive standard; the reader may refer to [46] for details.

  5. 5.

    AFDX Network (Aircraft Full Duplex): this network is based on deterministic Ethernet switches, which allow to implement 100 Mb/s full duplex communications.

  6. 6.

    CPIOM (Core Processing Input/Output Module): computation node, which can host different functions. Main communication media for CPIOMs are AFDX links. An ARINC 429 bus (It’s an application-specific standard for aircraft avionics; see [68]), discrete inputs and outputs are available for backups.

  7. 7.

    RDC (Remote Data Concentrator): Can be seen as a remote transceiver installed in the A/C close to the sensors, actuators, or equipments to be acquired. RDC can acquire Analog, Discrete, and ARINC 429 signals and convert the signals to AFDX.

  8. 8.

    It means, for example, that if a variable is classified as “not determinant” for a particular test, the result of that test must be the same, whatever is the value of the “not determinant” variable.

  9. 9.

    With actual release of the RTP we mean the final release during the Cesar project.
