Optimization of Software Function Distribution for OSEK Based In Vehicle Networks

The Centre for Automotive Research WIT is developing a methodology and tool for optimally distributing OSEK Tasks throughout In-Vehicle Networks. This distribution methodology automates the OSEK Task - ECU allocation process, generating optimal solutions for the network, maximizing the number of OSEK Tasks per ECU and therefore allowing for either more complex functionality for the same ECU network or a reduction in the number of ECUs on the network. Overall, this should reduce development time and help save vehicle weight and costs.
