Abstract
The development of the current complex embedded computer systems and their software requires very advanced methods and computer based tools. The development of such tools requires coherent supporting methods. It is very difficult to develop generic tools supporting different methods. IAI — Israel Aircraft Industries, developed ECSAM, a method for the analysis of such systems and provided financial support fot the initial development phases of Statement, a tool designed to support the method.
This paper briefly describes the ECSAM method and some aspects of Statemate. It describes the historical highlights of the development of the method and the tool and discusses the problems associated with their dissemination and the lessons learned.
