A Model-Based Tool for Designing Safety-Critical Systems

In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Dr. Sam Procter and Lutz Wrage, researchers with the SEI, discuss the Guided Architecture Trade Space Explorer (GATSE), a new SEI-developed model-based tool to help with the design of safety-critical systems. The GATSE tool allows engineers to evaluate more design options in less time than they can now. This prototype language extension and software tool partially automates the process of model-based systems engineering so that systems engineers can rapidly explore combinations of different design options.
