Applying the Component Paradigm to AUTOSAR Basic Software
Dietmar Schreiner · 2008
Current trends in embedded systems software for the automotive domain aim at an increase of reusability, exchangeability and maintainability, and thus at a significant reduction of timeand costs-to-market. One way to reach these goals is the adaption of Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) for resource constrained embedded systems. The Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) [1, 2], an upcoming industry standard within the automotive domain, reflects this fact by constituting CBSE as development paradigm for automotive applications: Application concerns are covered by software components, while infrastructural ones are handled within layered component middleware—the AUTOSAR Runtime Environment (RTE)[3] and the Basic Software (BSW) [4].
