ESACS is a RTD project that responds to the Growth 2000 call, Key Action "New perspectives in Aeronautics". The project started in February 2001, its duration is 30 months.
The technical and scientific objectives of ESACS are to define a methodology to improve the safety analysis practice for complex systems development, to set up a shared environment based on tools supporting the methodology, to validate the methodology through its application to case studies. The environment between design and safety will consist of tools to generate parts of the safety analysis using information extracted directly from the system model and of a repository including all the safety information related to the complex system under development.
The partnership consists of 10 partners from five different EU countries. It comprises 5 aircraft industries that will provide the problem to be solved, the experience on complex systems and safety analysis process , the case studies to validate the solution, and 3 research centres plus 1 technology provider that will provide academic rigour in support of the practical issues involved, skill on formal notations, safety analysis techniques and on metrics to evaluate the solution.
