Abstract
Automotive software systems are characterized by increasing complexity, tight safety and performance requirements, and need to be developed subject to substantial time-to-market pressure. Model- and component-based design methodologies can be used to improve the overall quality of software systems and foster reuse. In this work, we discuss challenges in the adoption of model-based development flows, and we review recent advances in component-based methodologies, including existing or upcoming standards, such as the MARTE UML profile, ADL languages and AUTOSAR. Finally, the paper provides a quick glance at results on a methodology based on virtual platforms and timing analysis to perform the exploration and selection of architecture solutions.
