Toolkit in OPen Source for Critical Applications & SystEms Development

Setup Project: Open Platform for the Engineering of Embedded System

PolarSys goals •  Mature Open Source tools for Embedded Systems •  Long Term Support (up to 30 years) •  Support System and Software Engineering activities

Eclipse History

2001 - Eclipse Project by IBM

2004 - Rich Client Platform

2004 – Independent Organization: Eclipse Foundation

2006 - Callisto Release Train

2008 - Top Level Runtime Project

2009 - Industry Working Groups

2012 - PolarSys

An ecosystem relying on an extensible platform •  Identify precisely what your competitive differentiators are

for your customers •  Focus all possible energies there, and acquire everything

else from OSS, or help build it in OSS

Build this in and with open source, even if that means working with your direct competitors.

Platform

Products Added Value

Compete on products and services

An ambitious objective Change the tools ecosystem

Typically  less  than  20%  of  Requests  For  Enhancement  (RFE)  get  into  the  tool  

Proprietary  Tool  Vendor  Ecosystem  

100  %  of  RFE  are  able  to  get  into  the  tool  e.g.  80%  generic,  20%  as  user  extensions

That's  one  small  step  for  Eclipse,    a  giant  leap  for  PolarSys!  

PolarSys introduces Open Source Solutions •  Integration of several projects to address end user

requirements •  Deployed (almost) as-is by the PolarSys Steering

members •  Thoroughly tested •  Marketing collaterals and user documentation

•  Data-sheets •  Webinars •  Geting Started guides

The tools ecosystem is growing

Underlying components Solutions leverage a rich ecosystem of Open Source

Projects: •  Code generation/trasnformation (Acceleo, ATL, …) •  Doc generation (Gendoc) •  SVN / Git Support (eGit) •  Model validation (OCL) •  Collaborative repository (CDO) •  Compare and merge models (EMF Compare) •  Review models (R4E)

New and growing topics •  Functional Simulation •  Requirements engineering and

traceability •  Safety Analysis •  Middleware/Runtime

Ideal  place  for  collaboraAon  

Open innovation and collaboration 2013 Innovation and improvements (See http://polarsys.org/innovations-improvements) •  Improvements to EMF Compare, including better merge UI, better integration with Papyrus, and better

integration with Git •  Improvements to CDT and Debugging, including debugging multiple processes within one debug session

in collaboration with the tools infrastructure working group of the multicore association •  Improvements to Papyrus to enable real-time application design and Implementation •  Improvements to CDO integration in Papyrus •  Improvements to Arcon, and migration of the project to Eclipse.org •  Migrated and improved Topcased OCL Tools •  Migrated and improved TOPCASED Scripting engine •  Migrated Gendoc - a model-to-document generation engine •  Contribution of ReqCycle - a software tool for requirement-extended traceability and requirement

management •  Improved simulation engine to allow traces and replay •  Proposal of Kitalpha, an engineering PolarSys component to describe system/software architectures •  Improvements to Mylyn Connector for Tuleap •  Improvements and publication of the Sirius project - a tool to create domain specific Modeling

workbenches •  Improvements to eGit and jGit to support Logical Model •  Improvement of Ecore Tools 2.0, including a migration from GMF-Tool to Sirius

Inject  Requirements  

PolarSys for research projects •  Mentionning OSS in a project proposal is

good •  Guarantee that results can be reused

•  Don’t drop your code on GitHub for final review

•  Release early / release often •  As soon as you have a first prototype, publish it! •  Work in the open and create a community of

users and adopters
