Zusammenfassung
Erhöhte Komplexität in der Entwicklung von Embedded Systems stellt heute viele Industriezweige vor Herausforderungen. Dies trifft besonders die Automobilindustrie; hier werden immer mehr sicherheitskritische Funktionen mit Hilfe von Embedded Systems realisiert. Die Wechselwirkung zwischen neuen Standards und steigender Anzahl von Funktionalitäten bei strikter Kostenbegrenzung stellt eine komplexe Aufgabe dar, die es zu bewältigen gilt. Dieser Artikel behandelt zwei dieser Herausforderungen der automotiven Industrie und stellt – mit einem Fokus auf CESAR – die wichtigsten europäischen Forschungsprojekte im Bereich Embedded Systems vor. Weiters wird die Referenz Technologie Plattform als Konzept für Werkzeugintegration und Interoperability Standard präsentiert. Ziel ist es, hiermit die Kosten des Entwicklungsprozesses spürbar zu senken. Abschließend wird eine beispielhafte Realisierung einer solchen Referenz-Technologieplattform für die Automobilindustrie behandelt.
Summary
Complexity in embedded systems engineering is increasing, imposing challenges to many industries. Especially the automotive industry has gone through significant changes with the application target of embedded systems moving towards safety-relevant applications. New safety standards as well as an increasing number of functionalities in a context of stringent cost constraints represent a complex challenge the industry is dealing with. In this paper, we provide an overview of two major challenges, the automotive industry is facing and of the main European research projects – with an emphasis to CESAR – focused on solving these challenges with respect to embedded systems engineering. We further discuss the reference technology platform as concept for tool integration and interoperability standard in order to significantly reduce costs. Finally, an exemplary realization of such reference technology platform for the automotive domain is presented.
