The MegaM@Rt2 ECSEL Project – MegaModelling at Runtime – Scalable Model-based Framework for Continuous Development and Runtime Validation of Complex Systems

A major challenge for the European electronic industry is to enhance productivity while reducing costs and ensuring quality in development, integration and maintenance. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) principles and techniques have already shown promising capabilities but still need to scale to support real-world scenarios implied by the full deployment and use of complex electronic components and systems. Moreover, maintaining efficient traceability, integration and communication between two fundamental system lifetime phases (design time and runtime) is another challenge facing scalability of MDE. This paper presents an overview of the ECSEL project entitled " MegaModelling at runtime – Scalable model-based framework for continuous development and runtime validation of complex systems " (MegaM@Rt2), whose aim is to address the above mentioned challenges facing MDE. Driven by both large and small industrial enterprises, with the support of research partners and technology providers, MegaM@Rt2 aims to deliver a framework of tools and methods for: 1) system engineering/design & continuous development, 2) related runtime analysis and 3) global model & traceability management, respectively. The diverse industrial use cases (covering domains such as aeronautics, railway, construction and telecommunications) will integrate and apply such a framework that shall demonstrate the validation of the MegaM@Rt2 solution.
