Keynote Speech: Automotive Systems-Engineering – 1 Expression, n Meanings

Speaker: Prof. Eric Sax (KIT)

Technology is on the rise and is available as “bulk goods” more or less in an electronic store. Where real value comes from is the integration of several parts to a whole. Robustness, costs, safety are the driving forces of new applications. These new applications derive from the challenging task of integrating components, subsystems, competencies and organizational units. Processes, methods and tools are key.​

Efficient and Safe Calculations in Heterogenous Multi-Core Environments

Speaker: Rudolf Grave (Tasking)

This talk shall explain the need of current heterogenous multicore environments and how they can be used from a compiler and low level driver perspective. A challenge is the distribution of various calculation like matrix multiplication or routing functions on different type of cores as a potential forwarding to a dedicated core might take some processing delays as well. Summarizing the talk will provide some guideline what needs to be considered while using todays multicore processor and will give an outlook what needs to be done to support today developers. As an example the usage of the parallel processing unit (PPU) on and Infineon Aurix shall be explained.

Why We Need a New Worst-Case Timing Approach for Automotive

Speaker: Peter Gliwa (Gliwa)

The talk will briefly explain how WCxT tools work and what the challenges are when using them for real projects. It will give real-world 2022 examples from safety relevant automotive projects. It will also come up with a few suggestions regarding how to use ‘worst case approaches’ in the future. It can thus function as a starting point of a discussion aiming to define how embedded software timing can be secured efficiently and safely in the future.

Classical AUTOSAR Integration With ROS 2

Speaker: Amr Ali (Swift Act)

With its reliable distributed architecture and its huge selection of “off-the-shelf” features, Robot Operating System (ROS) is becoming a preferred open source middleware for many industries. In recent years, ROS attracted the attention of the automotive industry. However, safety/cyber security remain as a main challenge to integrate RoS in automotive architectures. The problem becomes appealing considering a heterogeneous system, where ROS has to interact with AUTOSAR. In this presentation, we show how existing technologies can be used to achieve safety and security for connected heterogeneous systems. We describe the use case and we elaborate the methodology used to achieve compliance with both ISO 26262 and ISO 21434.

Design and Verification of a Dynamic Architecture at a Logical Level

Speaker: Frieder Heckmann (Valeo)

Modern driver assistance functions are realized by the interaction of various hardware and software components. To make the ever-increasing complexity manageable, Valeo uses an architecture design focused on event chains, taking the functionality of the entire vehicle into account. This allows a dynamic architecture to be designed at an early stage of development at the logical architecture level, independent of any specific technology and validated by simulation. The logical architecture is modeled by a dedicated UML Profile which enables the representation in a model based development tool. Integration requirements can be derived from the logical architecture and verified with integration tests. This talk uses the illustrative example of a driver assistance function to demonstrate the methodology developed for this purpose.

Automotive Middleware for ADAS and AD Systems

Speaker: Dr. Stjepan Dujmovic (Bosch)

Middleware solutions play an important role in decoupling application components from each other and from the underlying hardware. Available automotive middleware implementations do not cover all specific requirements of ADAS and AD systems. We discuss these requirements and propose a new middleware solution which fulfills these requirements.

Enabling DevOps with Hardware Parity between Vehicle and Cloud

Speaker: Dr. Alexander Lenk (AWS)

The presentation will give an overview on how to accelerate the vehicle software development by utilizing hardware parity between the vehicle and the Cloud. A key enabler for this is the Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE).

09:30

The need for Industrialized Software Engineering

Speaker: Jorge Manuel Lopes (Capgemini)

Today's software development ecosystem is no longer made up of isolated islands, where work packages were delivered for implementation, followed by a period of reduced interaction until the final delivery. Now everything is connected and software development is no exception. Customer and suppliers work together collaboratively on the same product. The specification, design, implementation and verification and validation of the system has a high degree of parallelization. A key part of enabling efficient work together is end-to-end lifecycle industrialization. In this talk, we will focus on this concept, illustrating it with real examples.

Towards Data Driven Usability Engineering in an Automotive Software Factory

Speaker: Dr. Johann Schenkl (trinnovative), Dr. Valentin Lohmüller (Vector)

The talk presents how telemetry data collection and analysis is integrated the Vector's Automotive Software Factory tool chain and fosters the shift towards constant software evolution. We see constant feedback on the current acceptance and usability of new released tool versions as strategic success factors. Based on concrete data about the performance and behavior of our software solution in practice, we aim to develop a deep understanding of how software engineers exactly work, what they do, and how their environment looks like. To achieve this, we implemented a highly scalable data collection and analysis, running on Kubernetes and building upon open-source technologies such as Open Telemetry, Grafana and Prometheus.

Session 4: Examples of Practical Applications
11:30

Debug of a timing-based race condition using an embedded debugger toolchain and a timed virtual ECU model

Speaker: Robert Evert (Micronova), Matthias Glück (Volkswagen)

The presentation describes a multi-core multi-path debug case. Due to timing constraints between the two MCUs during startup the fault condition was triggered. The problem has been analyzed and the presentation shows the way using iSystem debug solutions and a virtual ECU level 4. Finally the root cause of a software function could be identified.

Timing Analysis in AUTOSAR Environments

Speaker: Rudi Dienstbeck (AUTOSAR Consortium)

This presentation will give an overview how software timing is handled within AUTOSAR. It will cover the definition of timing constraints, the (automated) implementation of measurement points, the actual measuring of timing beaviour and the validation against the timing constraints. The well-defined and specified AUTOSAR methodology helps in each of these steps in both, the AUTOSAR Classic Platform and AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform.

Multi-Threading – Fork-Join - in Automotive Real-Time Applications

Speaker: Benjamin Schatz (ZF Friedrichshafen)

ZF developed together with Vector a concept and an implementation on introducing multi-threading in AUTOSAR CP Systems with only using Basic Task. A mechanism for Fork-Join was implemented, enabling start of multiple Child-Threads for parallelization of computation intensive tasks and later synchronization barrier for collecting all Child-Thread results. The concept was implemented already ~3 years ago in a serial production ECU
