abstract = {Eclipse is an open source framework for building platform-independent GUI applications. It is managed by the Eclipse Foundation (a non-profit organization), which ensures that official Eclipse projects are interoperable and follow certain intellectual property guidelines.

Open Source in general allows organizations to remedy the risk of being dependent on one single vendor. This includes the risk of the feature set provided: users can add missing features themselves or commission their inclusion to any competent party, rather than having to rely on the vendor to implement it. It further includes the risk of maintenance and long-term support.
Eclipse in particular provides a solid, mature and open platform for desktop applications with a rich ecosystem. Many Eclipse offerings are ready to be used “as is”, thereby offering great cost savings. <>p

In this talk, we demonstrate how Eclipse can be used as an integration platform for systems engineering. We focus on RMF (Requirements Modeling Framework) as a case study on how the Eclipse ecosystem can be leveraged in a business environment. RMF is a clean-room implementation of the open ReqIF standard, which is currently being adopted by various tool vendors: The currently ongoing ReqIF Implementor Forum , which is organized by ProSTEP iViP, will ensure that the various ReqIF implementations will properly function together. We will look at both the technical and business implications.

From a business point of view, this approach promises cost savings and prevents vendor lock-in. To understand the value, we will look at the openETCS project , which is an ITEA2 EU-funded project. The purpose of this project is the development of an integrated modeling, development, validation and testing framework for leveraging the cost-efficient and reliable implementation of the European Train Control System (ETCS), based on open source technologies. While the technology choice has not yet been fi¬nalized, Eclipse is a strong candidate for realizing this project, and it being open source is a core requirement. We will present the implications of such an open platform from a business point of view for the parties involved, which are customers (e.g. Deutsche Bahn), equipment manufacturers (e.g. Siemens) service providers (e.g. Formal Mind) and, of course, the EU and its citizens.},
