“…Because the project was carried out as a more or less complete prototype development project, the results include everything from requirements specifications and function descriptions, to the software and hardware architectures and the mechanics of the vehicle itself. UML Use cases [2] were used to model requirements in early design phases. It describes the functionality that the system should provide to the user.…”

We present a case study where a concept vehicle is remodeled using a new systems modeling approach, the EAST ADL (Architecture Description Language). EAST ADL is a language for modeling and development of software based systems. The application domain is automotive software-based systems. The language has been developed within the project EAST-EEA by representatives of European automotive industries and academic research sites.EAST ADL supports modeling during all stages of development of vehicle functions; from function selection, through function specification, to implementation of a running system. The language further supports modeling of aspects orthogonal to software structure, such as requirements, behavior, validation, and verification.The FAR vehicle has been previously developed, using model based development. Within this paper we re-model the FAR vehicle using the EAST ADL. The new model ties together the various models, code and documentation in a consistent structure with clear relationships between entities.

“…This paper gives an introduction to the EAST ADL and demonstrates its use to model the software and electronics architecture of the concept vehicle FAR, a bywire scale car developed using state of the art development tools [2]. The modeling work was done as part of a thesis project at Volvo Technology Corp., Gothenburg.…”

“…The software architecture, illustrated in Figure 2, and development approach were seen as quite promising in that it combined component based and model based development with support for distributed systems through the global TT-CAN based clock and the off-line scheduling facility in the Rubus RTOS, [12]. The demonstrator vehicle is still in use at VCC for work on dependable embedded system platforms, see e.g.…”

ABSTRACT:We present experiences from a final year M.Sc. course. The overall aim of the course is to provide knowledge and skills to develop products in small or large development teams. The course is implemented in terms of large projects in cooperation with external partners, in which the students, based on a product specification, apply and integrate their accumulated knowledge in the development of a prototype. This course, which has been running and further elaborated for 20 years, has been proven successful in terms of being appreciated by the students and by the external partners. The course has during the recent years more frequently been carried out in close connection to research groups. Our experiences indicate benefits by carrying out these types of large projects in an educational setting, with external partners as project providers, and in close cooperation with research groups.Having external partners as project providers feeds the course, students and faculty with many industrially relevant problems that are useful for motivational purposes, and in other courses for exemplification and for case studies in research. Carrying out the projects in close connection to research groups provides synergy between research and education, and can improve the academic level of the projects. A further interesting dimension is accomplished when the projects run in iterations, requiring new groups of students to take over an already, partly developed complex system, and work incrementally on this system. The students are then faced with a very typical industrial situation. We advocate that students should be exposed to a mixture of "build from scratch" and "incremental" projects during the education.
