Open Source Summit Europe 2022

The ELISA project has taken on the challenge to make it easier for companies to build and certify Linux-based safety-critical applications. ELISA members are defining and maintaining a common set of elements, processes and tools that can be incorporated into specific Linux-based, safety-critical systems amenable to safety certification. This talk will give an overview of the goals and technical strategy of the ELISA project. It provides information about the different work groups, their interaction and contributions. These work groups focus on Linux Features for Safety-Critical Systems, Software Architecture, Open Source Engineering Process, Tool Investigation and Code Improvement. They are complemented by use case work groups dealing with Automotive, Medical and wider Industrial IoT systems. Attendees will leave the talk with an understanding where the ELISA project stands today. They get insights which methodologies and tools are used, which challenges are tackled next by the work groups and why the different puzzle pieces are all needed for enabling Linux in safety-critical applications.
