SDA Forum coming up

2017 an idea was born at Prover Technology. We wanted to create a forum for sharing experiences, best practices, and for networking. Our intention was to gather leading signaling management peers from all over the world to discuss the latest evolutions of design automation and formal verification– software technologies to automate design and verification of railway signaling systems.

With this in mind we established the SDA Forum. The first conference was hosted by Prover in Stockholm the 15th of May 2018.  After the success in Stockholm we decided to do it again, this time in Shanghai, the 6th of November 2019.

We are happy by the interest and the engagement shown during these conferences. The interest has exceeded our expectations. We have had attendees from leading infrastructure managers, suppliers, and engineering firms from all over the world, sharing experiences, being inspired and networked.

So we decided to do it again. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 event was postponed. The SDA Forum 2021 will be hosted by Prover Technology in Paris, France, the 23rd of March. This time the theme of the forum will be Formal Verification.

You can sign up for more information here. We hope to meet you in Paris this spring!

  • When replacing relay interlockings, most conversations start with technology. The better starting point is governance: how do you make sure you can still change parts of the system 20 years from now? We look at what Open Signaling means in practice, and how our Stockholm Metro pilot was designed for replaceability from day one.

  • Prover, RATP and Systerel publish the unified HLL 4.0 specification, keeping the rail industry's formal verification language open and free of dialects.

  • Generative AI has entered railway software engineering ahead of the standards governing it. A new CENELEC draft amendment to EN 50716 doesn't add requirements. It clarifies which existing rules apply when AI drafts specs, writes code, or generates test cases, and why those rules are harder to satisfy with generative models than teams might assume.
