Objectives

Resource constrained embedded systems (RCES) have the following characteristics:

They belong to different application sectors.
They have statically determined computing resources which are usually allocated through a process consisting of a configuration phase and a building phase.
They are generally high integrity systems with strong assurance requirements. They therefore use advanced engineering disciplines.
Many different application sectors can benefit from their use.

TERESA has the following objectives:

Provide guidelines for the specification of sector-specific RCES trusted computing engineering. Software process engineers in a given sector use the guidelines to define a trusted computing engineering process that is integrated with the software engineering process used in the RCES sector.
Define a trusted computing engineering approach that is suited to the following sectors: automotive, home control, industrial control, and metering.
