Descrizione del progetto
Un modello innovativo per sistemi software integrati
La prossima generazione di sistemi integrati in rete richiederà prototipazione veloce e prestazioni elevate, oltre a proprietà chiave relative ad affidabilità e sicurezza. Tuttavia, la dipendenza degli attuali sistemi autonomi da applicazioni di apprendimento automatico e di intelligenza artificiale, in combinazione con requisiti di funzionamento in caso di guasto, rendono la verifica e la convalida dei sistemi integrati un’ardua impresa. Il progetto XANDAR, finanziato dall’UE, si concentrerà sugli obiettivi stabiliti nell’ambito della gara sulle tecnologie software ICT-50-2020, fornendo una catena di strumenti software maturi, in grado di soddisfare i requisiti industriali di prototipazione veloce di sistemi integrati interoperabili e autonomi. Verranno utilizzati un’architettura di sistema basata su modelli per supportare nuove tecniche di sintesi automatica del modello e di parallelizzazione del software per raggiungere gli obiettivi di un nuovo paradigma in tempo reale, caratterizzato da sicurezza e protezione fin dalla costruzione.
Obiettivo
The next generation of networked embedded systems (ES) necessitates rapid prototyping and high performance while maintaining key qualities like trustworthiness and safety. However, deployment of safety-critical ES suffers from complex software (SW) toolchains and engineering processes. Moreover, the current trend in autonomous systems relying on Machine Learning (ML) and AI applications in combination with fail-operational requirements renders the Verification and Validation (V&V) of these new systems a challenging endeavor. Prime examples are autonomous driving cars that are prone to various safety/security vulnerabilities. The XANDAR project is built to exactly match the goals defined within the ICT-50 Software Technologies.
XANDAR will deliver a mature SW toolchain (from requirements capture down to the actual code integration on target including V&V) fulfilling the needs of the industry for rapid prototyping of interoperable and autonomous ES. Starting from a model-based system architecture, XANDAR will leverage novel automatic model synthesis and software parallelization techniques to achieve specific non-functional requirements setting the foundation for a novel real-time, safety-, and security-by-Construction (X-by-Construction) paradigm. For the first time, XbC-guided code generation for non-deterministic ML/AI applications will be combined with novel runtime monitors to ensure fail-operation in the presence of runtime faults and security exploitations. The project provides a consortium covering the full spectrum of ES and software engineering. XANDAR will be validated by an automotive OEM (BMW) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Leading European SMEs and enterprises such as Vector, AVN, and fentISS as well as successful academic partners will contribute their diverse knowhow in Model-Driven Engineering, Software Systems and V&V, multicore architectures, code generation, and security enforcements from higher-level behavioral models to actual runnables.
