Abstract
This paper introduces a framework to produce and to manage quality requirements of embedded aeronautical systems, called the ‘Requirements Engineering Framework’ (REF). It aims at making the management of the requirement lifecycle easier, from the specification of the purchaser’s needs, to their implementation in the final products, and also their verification, while controlling costs. REF is based on the main standards of aeronautics, in particular RTCA DO-254, and RTCA DO-178B standards. An implementation of REF, using the IBM Rational DOORS and IBM Rational Change tools, is also presented in this paper.

REF is based on the main standards of aeronautics, in particular RTCA DO-254, and RTCA DO-178B standards
We introduce the ‘Requirements Engineering Framework’ (REF for short), which aims at producing and managing quality requirements, in order to produce safe and secure embedded aeronautical systems, that must adhere to the rigorous constraints of international standards, while controlling costs
Summary
To ensure the safety and the reliability of the aircraft’s embedded systems, airworthiness authorities (e.g. US Federal Aviation Administration [1], European Aviation Safety Agency [2], UK Civil Aviation Authority [3], etc.) require that they are built under control of processes based on international standards. We introduce the ‘Requirements Engineering Framework’ (REF for short), which aims at producing and managing quality requirements, in order to produce safe and secure embedded aeronautical systems, that must adhere to the rigorous constraints of international standards, while controlling costs. This is achieved by using formalized and mature processes as presented .
