| + | This page was used to collaboratively work on the Polarsys Charter. |
| | | | |
| − | == Goals and Vision ==
| + | Please go to the [http://www.eclipse.org/org/industry-workgroups/polarsys_charter.php official page for the Polarsys charter] |
| − | The goal of the Polarsys group is to collaboratively define, build and maintain open source tools for safety-critical and embedded system development in demanding engineering domains, such as aerospace, defense and security, transportation, energy, healthcare, telecommunications.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | These domains typically require maintenance of tool chains for the very long term – from 30 to up to 50 to 70 years in some cases – which create some very unique issues. Another characteristic of the working group is to address material for qualification processes – like in the DO 178 for Aircraft or ISO 26262 for Automotive.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Additionally, Polarsys intends to foster exchanges between academics and industrial partners in these domains and manage the maturity of tools from early research prototypes to the obsolescence of tools.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To implement this vision, the IWG group and the Eclipse Foundation will collaborate to provide services and to:
| + | |
| − | * Maintain the infrastructure required for the hosting of IWG projects, including software repositories, software build and test facilities.
| + | |
| − | * Proceed to IP due diligence in order to provide clean open source software released under EPL or other licenses validated by the IWG like BSD-like and LGPL.
| + | |
| − | * Define the software tools to be contained in each release of the tool chains (with specific roadmaps and release trains).
| + | |
| − | * Create a labelling process to recognize projects maturity and companies know-how and commitment .
| + | |
| − | * Create a software quality assessment kit to define the maturity level of each component.
| + | |
| − | * Digitally sign certified software releases made available under the IWG banner.
| + | |
| − | * Make those binary software releases available only to the members of IWG.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Core domains ==
| + | |
| − | Polarsys focuses on techniques and tools to fulfill the Polarsys goal and vision, and mainly on:
| + | |
| − | * System, Hardware and Software Modeling
| + | |
| − | * Code analysis (static code analysis)
| + | |
| − | * Debugging, tracing and other integration tools
| + | |
| − | * Transversal process support tools : Configuration Management, Change tracking, Technical facts management, Project reporting
| + | |
| − | * Test and verification tools targeting embedded software methods, simulation and early validation
| + | |
| − | * Embedded components (RTOS, Middleware, ...)
| + | |
| − | * System on Chip simulation and Hardware logic (VHDL, SystemC, ...)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Other domain specific techniques and tools can be proposed for acceptance by the IWG steering committee.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Membership ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An entity must be at least a [http://www.eclipse.org/membership/become_a_member/membershipTypes.php#solutions Solutions Member] of the Eclipse Foundation and adhere to the IWG to participate to Polarsys. The Eclipse Solution Member fees appear in the tables below for convenience only: they are decided as described in the [http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse%20BYLAWS%202011_08_15%20Final.pdf Eclipse bylaws] and detailed in the [http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse%20MEMBERSHIP%20AGMT%202010_01_05%20Final.pdf Eclipse membership agreement].

| − | | + | |
| − | ;Expulsion, Termination or Suspension
| + | |
| − | : The membership of any Member may be terminated “For Cause” upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the Steering Committee after a hearing duly held in accordance with this Section. As used in this Section, two-thirds (2/3) vote means two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the Steering Committee exclusive of such Member’s representative on the Steering Committee only if the representative is also a representative of the Member facing expulsion or suspension (any such representative , an “Affected Representative ”). For purposes of this Section, “For Cause” shall mean the Member has materially breached the Membership Agreement or Charter and/or other related Polarsys agreements or policies, and has not cured such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from the Eclipse Foundation.
| + | |
| − | Such determination shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Steering Committee (excluding the Affected Representative). Following the determination by the Steering Committee a Member should be terminated the following procedures shall apply:
| + | |
| − | # A notice shall be sent by mail by prepaid, first-class or certified mail to the most recent address of such Member as shown on the Eclipse Foundation’s records, setting forth the termination and the reasons therefore. Such notice shall be sent at least fifteen (15) days before the proposed effective date of the termination.
| + | |
| − | # The Member being terminated shall be given an opportunity to be heard, either orally or in writing, at a hearing to be held no fewer than five (5) days before the effective date of the proposed termination. The hearing shall be held by the Steering Committee. The notice to the Member of its proposed termination shall state that such Member is entitled, upon request, to such hearing, shall state that a date, time and place of the hearing will be established upon receipt of request therefore, and shall state, that in the absence of such request, the effective date of the proposed termination.
| + | |
| − | # In the event that a hearing is held, then following such hearing the Steering Committee (excluding the Affected Representative) shall decide whether such Member should in fact be terminated, or sanctioned via written reprimand as determined by the Steering Committee; provided, that, any such decision to terminate or sanction such Member must be approved by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Steering Committee (excluding the Affected Representative). The decision of the Steering Committee shall be final.
| + | |
| − | # Any action challenging a termination of membership of a Member, including any claim alleging defective notice, must be commenced within fifteen (15) days after the date of the termination.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Termination of the Eclipse Foundation Membership of a Polarsys Member automatically leads to the Termination of its Polarsys Membership.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Reinstatment after Termination ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Members terminated pursuant to Section [[#Termination of membership | Termination of membership]] may only be reinstated upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Steering Committee Representatives in Good Standing represented at a Steering Committee meeting at which a quorum is present.
