How to land on Mars with Polarsys technologies? -  Christophe Boudjennah (Presales, Obeo)

Embedded Software Development tooling has now reached a strategic turning point, as projects become more and more complex.

Historically, tools were developed “in-house”, requiring specific skills and important investments in development and maintenance. As it was clearly out of industries core business, they progressively went to commercial solutions.

The downsize is the vendor lock-in risk, with expensive tools complex to adapt. But, the most critical point for industries in domains such as Avionics, Telecoms or Energy is that commercial tools do not guarantee Long Term availability for several decades.

This is why large industry players and tools providers decided to collaborate on the creation and support of Open Source tools for the development of embedded systems. To support this initiative, they created PolarSys, an Eclipse Industry Working Group organizing sustainable commercial services and ecosystems around open source components.

In this talk we will present Polarsys and explain how its technologies dramatically change the way architects can work on complex systems.

By using the PolarSys and Eclipse Modeling stacks, industry solutions can be created which fully fit the needs of architects (design, analysis, verification, simulation, etc.) in many industrial domains.

This talk will be illustrated by many concrete case-studies.
