Meta model application for consistency management of models for avionic systems design
This addresses consistency management for avionics engineers, but it is incremental as it applies existing meta modeling techniques to a specific domain.
The paper tackled the problem of managing consistency across disparate models and tools in avionic systems design by implementing a meta model and central repository, resulting in improved traceability, reduced errors, and shorter development times.
This paper presents the application of a meta model and single underlying model on an applied avionics system design use case. System models, safety assurance cases and safety requirements are maintained in a central repository. This enables to link these data which are originally developed in unrelated tools. By having such a central repository, traceability can be established, and consistency can be ensured, which leads to less errors and a shorter development time. A meta model was constructed which matches the central repository to enable bidirectional synchronization with an external authoring tool.
