Reducing development costs in industrial safety projects with CESAR

The demand for high Safety levels in industrial applications is growing. New certification and documentation requirements increase the product cost significantly. New or improved methods for high level specification and design may help to do part of the development process more automatically. In the CESAR project ABB, NTNU and SINTEF investigates if the Boiler Plate and Domain Specific Language approach for specification can be used to facilitate automatic generation of safety code and help to automatically document the process as required for safety authorization.
