AIL: description of a global electronic architecture at the vehicle scale
Arjun Panday, Damien Couderc, Simon Marichalar · 2001
This paper introduces the Architecture Implementation Language; a description language that allows for an internal representation of the architecture and acts as a connection with tools to simplify the construction, planning, verification, capitalisation, and documentation of an architecture. The objective of AIL is to describe a vehicle architecture from the level of the desired services down to the level of physical implementation, rendered concrete in one or more resulting operational architectures. The proposed methodology introduces the concepts of high level component based architectures to the highly constrained automotive world.
