A Component Model Family for Vehicular Embedded Systems

In this paper we propose to use components for managing the increasing complexity in modern vehicular systems. Compared to other approaches, the distinguishing feature of our work is using and benefiting from components throughout the development process from early design to development and deployment, and an explicit separation of concerns at different levels of granularity. Based on the elaboration of the specifics of vehicular systems (resource constraints, real-time requirements, hard demands on reliability), the paper identifies concerns that need to be addressed by a component model for this domain, and describes a realization of such a component model.
