Many criteria have been presented so far for innovation measurement. Presenting the relation between input and output of innovation, completing other criteria and achieving more comprehensive criteria has also been raised. What is of vital importance is the right utilization of these criteria towards measuring innovation. This paper seeks to present a model to measure innovation that, in additi...

In many cyber-physical systems that support real-time applications, temporal guarantees are crucial. Automotive systems are such an example. In this paper, we survey selected prior work that addresses real-time issues in automotive systems. The covered topics includes real-time analysis of distributed architectures in automotive systems, two component-specific studies on Engine Control Unit and...

The publication of the ISO 26262 (”Road vehicles – Functional safety”) as Draft International Standard (DIS) and its expected release as international standard in 2011 has a substantial impact on the development of automotive software. By defining the current state of technique for the development of safe automotive software, the lack of or inadequate use of these techniques has severe legal co...

Automotive software development is inherently complex and involves different stakeholders, phases, and disciplines. The AutoMoDe approach to automotive software development defines distinct levels of abstraction for integrated development. To facilitate the design and evolution of heterogeneous automotive software, suitable views for each level are supported, targeting development steps like in...

The spreading of Ethernet as an in-vehicle network for today’s cars or those in the near future is being broadly announced by spokespersons for major carmakers and automotive electronics companies. Even in the scientific community there is a growing interest in the topic, as is shown by the increasing number of studies that address the performance of Switched Ethernet or Time-Triggered Ethernet...
