DevOps and Architecture Design4Evolution – For the long timescale it is proposed to explore ways to improve the evolvability of modular platform based next-generation ATC architectures, for agreed on-board and trackside modular architecture, while for the quick realisation it is proposed to focus on development ideas from the railway-industrial DevOps approach.

WP29 Rail industrial DevOps and Architecting4evolution
Rail industry and rail operators face significant challenges that result in conflicting time scales for operations (long, with the need for adaptions and changes over decades) on the one hand, and realisation of new features and fixes (short, shall be brought into the field much faster than today) on the other hand. For the long timescale we propose to explore ways to improve the evolvability of architectures and for the quick realisation we propose to focus on ideas from the DevOps approach. Both must be done consistently with requirements from standards and regulations, harsh environment, safety-criticality, and long lifetime. To determine the right granularity of being technology-independent while preserving applicability in practice will be the key question.
