Objective
The challenge in system construction is no longer in building new products from scratch, but in reusing and integrating existing components (ranging from large subsystem to complex/standardised software modules) supplied by different vendors, tailoring them to a specific market or architecture, and controlling the evolution of these products with respect to the evolution of the individual components. Such a strategy is widely used, and has strong impact on production processes, methods and tools.
The objective of the SCALE project is to support system construction strategies based on the intensive reuse of existing software components (ranging from fine-grain components to large-grain software products).
System construction strategies based on the intensive reuse of existing software components (ranging from fine grain components to large software products) have been developed. The system includes:
a set of product and process models for configuration management, system construction and change control;
a set of process support environments for supporting configuration management, system construction, change control, and system composition.
Requirements of the final process support environment have been defined. The global architecture of the final process support environment has been constructed. The first prototype of the environment supporting configuration management has been demonstrated.
SCALE is developing and will demonstrate:
- a set of product and process models for configuration management, system construction and change control.
- a set of process support environments for supporting configuration management, system construction, change control, and system composition.
SCALE will assess through internal case studies and demonstrators projects:
- the benefit of the models and support tools developed in terms of fitness of purpose, user acceptability, and overall quality (functionality, usability, reliability and performance).
- the further advances required from both the technological and human factors points of view.
The project will focus on configuration management, system construction, change control and reuse support. Real-life demonstrators and case studies based on industrial system engineering projects are being carried out as a central part of the work.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
