Abstract
This paper describes a specification and an implementation of a flexible tool platform for assurance and certification of safety-critical systems. This tool platform is built upon a comprehensive conceptual assurance and certification framework. This conceptual framework is composed of a common information model called CCL (Common Certification Language) and a compositional assurance approach. Our tool platform allows an easy integration with existing solutions supporting interoperability with existing development and assurance tools. The ultimate goal of our platform is to provide an integrated approach for managing assurance cases and evidences resulting from a safety project.
