Experiences with the GENE-AUTO Code Generator in the Aerospace Industry

International audienceThis paper gives an overview of the most recent experimentations that Astrium and Airbus conducted with the GENE AUTO code generator during 2009. GENE-AUTO is an open source automatic and qualifiable C code generator taking as input Simulink ® /Stateflow ® and Scilab/Scicos models. It was developed in the context of an ITEA European project that ended in December 2008 (www.geneauto.org). The GENE-AUTO toolset is currently maintained by its developers and evaluated for industrial usage by several end-users. This paper presents the case studies that we used for evaluation purposes, explains the organisation between the users and technology providers with respect to the toolset maintenance and summarizes the experimentation results
