Philipp Lanchés, Joachim Eisenmann, Matthias Köhn, James B. Holland · 1998
In this paper, the authors describe an approach to the design of automotive applications that is based on the client/server architecture. They first discuss the basic client/server model in the context of automotive requirements. A comparison is then made of this new function-oriented approach to the previous device-oriented approach. The communication mechanism is described with regard to procedures, data representation and protocol implementation. An example is given in which this new approach is used. The paper concludes with a look at ways in which to collaborate to achiever further standardization.
