Developing Robocar Software with Docker

In the recent blog post by Andre Stolpp, we explained the hard- and software architecture of our itemis Robocar project. For setting up Robocar, development was done directly on Raspberry PI. Although it is very comfortable to work on that device, it also has a ...

Model transformations for MBSE with Cameo and Xtend

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is one of the most important approaches to managing complexity. Using models as central artifacts also implies that they have to be integrated with other development artifacts. It also means that the tools being used to ...

A Tool-Based Security Analysis – Part 2: Damage Classes And Potentials

In Part 1 of this blog series, we have seen how the attack potential of an attacking agent can be modeled. For our system, we also want to model the parts and aspects that we want to protect and the damage that can be done by an attacker. So as a next step, we ...
