WASA '15: Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Automotive Software Architecture

Identification of similar fragments of software systems, or clones, has many applications in software engineering and maintenance, including quality control and improvement, standards compliance, test management and failure analysis and prevention. Code ...

As the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) of self-driving vehicles increase, it is necessary to investigate the Electrical/Electronic(E/E) system architectures for autonomous driving, beyond proof-of-concept prototypes. Relevant patterns and anti-...

In the safety domain, safety standards are used as a development guideline to keep the risk at an acceptable level. Safety of the safety-critical systems can be assessed according to those safety standards. This assessment process is called safety ...

The use of software reference architectures plays a fundamental role in software development, as it could bring several benefits such as providing means to design applications' software architectures with higher productivity and quality. However, many ...

The key challenges to software development in the powertrain domain are an exploding complexity, short development cycles and increasing quality and safety requirements. Architecture design addresses these challenges by structuring development over the ...

This paper provides some background and the roadmap of the AUTO-CAAS project, which is a 3-year project financed by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation and is ongoing as a joint project among three academic and industrial partners. The aim of the project ...

Developing automotive functions involves complex software to a growing extent while still following a consecutive waterfall-like development process: Integrating and testing software with other software and with hardware components is conducted towards ...

Although many architecture evolution techniques exist, most of them are not able to perform a quality impact prediction. Most of these techniques concentrate on analyzing the expected performance and reliability of design alternatives on prototypes or ...
