31. Our constraints
One example : AIRBUS A300
• Program began in 1972 and
will stop in 2007
2007-1972 = 35 years...
• Support will last until 2050
2050-1972 = 78 years !!!

32. Open source business model for industrials
• What we expect from an open source model
Insure a continuity of tools with respect to industrial challenges
Avoid single-source dependency : knowledge is shared
Take advantage of innovation and risk sharing
Contribute to standardization effort
Federate the on board software development tools market and

gather a significant users community in this area
Reduce the temptation for offshore development made on US tools
by managing in Europe the creation of added value components
