Abstract. With today’s highly complex embedded systems, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find design solutions that meet all functional and nonfunctional requirements, such as performance, dependability and cost. In addition, there is often not a single optimal solution but a conflict of goals between requirements leads to a set of so-called Pareto optima. Such a multi-objective optimisation has received increasing attention in research and practice over the past few years. This paper presents current research in progress on developing a comprehensive optimisation approach that incorporates a flexible number of objectives together with the corresponding external analyses for evaluating them and uses only a single system model as information repository for all objectives and analyses. This central model is defined using the modelling language EAST-ADL, an architecture description language for the automotive domain. 1
