Model-Based
Software Engineering (MBSwE) and the use of Auto-Generated
Code (AGC) for safety-critical applications have become more
and more popular. Typical areas include aerospace,
automotive, nuclear, military, and many others. MBSwE with
automated code generation is often considered to produce
“code with fewer bugs and much faster”. The current focus
towards autonomous systems poses new possibilities and
challenges for MBSwE and automated code generation.
We
are evaluating experiences in the use of MBSwE/AGC at NASA
and other relevant industries. This survey assesses the
current state-of-the-practice, advantages and disadvantages,
V&V practices, and certification issues for
safety-critical systems that use MBSwE and/or execute code
that is generated from models.
We
would appreciate it if you could participate in our online
survey before March 31st, 2016. The survey is located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/mbsweandagc
and we
estimate that it would take about 30 minutes to complete.
All responses are anonymous, unless you specifically choose
to provide personal information and your email address. At
completion, we will be happy to send a copy of our report to
respondents who provide their email addresses during the
survey or request the report by sending an e-mail to SurveyMBSwEandAGC@xxxxxxxxx.
Please
forward this call for participation to any and all of your
colleagues with experience in this topic.
Thank
you in advance for participating in our survey.
