We report on a model-based approach to system-software co-engineering which is tailored to the specific characteristics of critical on-board systems for the aerospace domain. The approach is supported by a System-Level Integrated Modeling (SLIM) Language by which engineers are provided with convenient ways to describe nominal hardware and software operation, (probabilistic) faults and their propagation, error recovery, and degraded modes of operation. Correctness properties, safety guarantees, and performance and dependability requirements are given using property patterns which act as parameterized "templates" to the engineers and thus offer a comprehensible and easy-to-use framework for requirement specification. Instantiated properties are checked on the SLIM specification using state-of-the-art formal analysis techniques such as bounded SAT-based and symbolic model checking, and probabilistic variants thereof. The precise nature of these techniques together with the formal SLIM semantics yield a trustworthy modeling and analysis framework for system and software engineers supporting, among others, automated derivation of dynamic (i.e., randomly timed) fault trees, FMEA tables, assessment of FDIR, and automated derivation of observability requirements.
