Atego, the supplier development tools for safety-critical systems and software, has launched a database of software for publication and reuse.
Called Atego Asset Library, it is based on the OMG’s Reusable Asset Specification (RAS). The underlying database is suitable for all types of project assets.
Atego Asset Library then extends RAS to provide dedicated features for systems and software component and service publication, as well as seamless integration with UML & SysML for component and service based design.
“The launch of Atego Asset Library is a significant extension to Atego’s strategic product portfolio,” said Hedley Apperly, v-p of product and marketing at Atego.
“The library enables top-down, architected modular engineering, bottom-up artifact mining and middle-out asset reuse,” said Apperly.
The aim is to support greater enterprise scale software asset reuse.It publishes assets over the web and asset meta-data, traceable links and management dashboards are intended to reduce the complexity.
“The OMG’s goal is to provide a vendor-neutral platform for driving standards such as the Reusable Asset Specification (RAS),” commented Richard Mark Soley, Ph.D., chairman and CEO, OMG.
“We are excited by Atego’s implementation of the OMG RAS, enabling system & software asset reuse, particularly at ‘design time’ with UML and SysML. This is yet more evidence of OMG standards improving engineering productivity.”
