At the annual general meeting Ms. Bates was elected to follow Dr. Gerd Grenner, who supported numares as member of the Supervisory Board since 2014 and left his position due to private reasons. The other Board Members, Dr. Schirmers, Dr. Ries and Dr. Kutzner were reelected.

EMBEDDED WORLD--Codethink today opened early access to its mapping between the Eclipse Trustable Software Framework (TSF) and IEC 61508, the international standard governing the functional safety of electrical and electronic systems. The mapping establishes a transparent relationship between the engineering principles of the Trustable Software Framework and the objectives defined in IEC 61508. By making this work available as an early preview, Codethink is inviting organisations interested in applying open source approaches to functional safety to review and begin working with the mapping while the work continues to mature. IEC 61508 forms the foundation of many domain-specific safety standards, including ISO 26262 for automotive systems. The early access reflects Codethink’s long-standing commitment to open development of software engineering methods. “This preview release reflects our belief that trust in software must be engineered in the open," said Paul Sherwood, Codethink’s Chair
