High Integrity Software Lab

On October 12th 2026, the next generation of high-integrity software engineers connected with the leaders shaping the field.

Real conversations, real connections.

The Lab is dedicated to inspiring the next generation of software engineers, bringing those starting a career in high-integrity software together with senior industry leaders to build meaningful connections and better software.

What happened

• Early-career engineers met peers and senior industry leaders
• Panel and table Q&A with engineering leaders
• Two hands-on workshops:
  • Building Bridges in Borsetshire: requirements engineering for high-integrity systems, with Capgemini
  • Assurance à la Carte: designing a lifecycle and certification plan for a mid-life upgrade, with AdaCore and Rapita

Thank you to everyone who took part, and to our partners at AdaCore, Capgemini and Rapita.

Workshops

Delegates took part in both workshops:

WORKSHOP A: "Building Bridges in Borsetshire" Requirements Engineering for High-Integrity Systems

90 mins — with Capgemini experts

Teams navigate from a high-level statement of user needs to a compliant solution using satisfaction
arguments, aiming to minimise stakeholder interviews. Includes a short presentation followed by
a hands-on exercise, with teams presenting their solutions at the end.

WORKSHOP B: "Assurance à la Carte" Architecting the Mid-Life Upgrade

90 mins — with AdaCore & Rapita experts

Explore the diverse ways to develop and verify high-integrity software. This hands-on session challenges teams to design a lifecycle and certification plan for a system upgrade, proving that even under strict regulatory and corporate constraints, there are multiple paths to success. Which one will you choose?
