Abstract
The introduction of the electronic sub-systems in the automotive
vehicles and their tight level of interactions have led to an
ever-increasing complexity of the embedded global electronic
system. In addition to this complexity, the system architect has to
deal with diversity of automotive products and to favor the
reusability, while being constrained by the difference of
visibility he has on each sub-system. Thus, managing the global
vehicle electronic system appears to be very hard and necessitates
adapted design methods and tools. Nevertheless, it eases the
insertion of innovations in the vehicle and permits to
differentiate products and adapt them to each customer's
needs.
This article presents a design method for electronic system
architecture - called CAROSSE - that ensures modularity and
reactivity and promotes dependability studies and system-level
validation. It takes advantage of heterogeneous multi-agent system
techniques and modeling techniques in queuing system formalism.
