Automotive System Design and Autosar

Abstract

Automotive system design demands for new solutions for management of complexity and heterogeneity. Heterogeneity in automotive systems does not only cover different physical domains that are combined in a complex system. Heterogeneity in automotive systems also means optimized, proprietary solutions and interfaces. The fact that many tiers are involved, and many configurations have to be maintained is an increasing challenge. This chapter gives an overview of an approach to hide the heterogeneity behind a common and unique interface: AUTOSAR.
