Automotive Software Engineering: Principles, Processes, Methods, and Tools

The deployment of onboard electronic systems and software in the motor vehicle has increased steadily since the early 1970s. The software-based implementation of vehicle functions must take into consideration higher demands on safety and reliability in relation to lower cost ceilings, longer product life cycles and shorter development times. The driver-vehicle-environment system, essential system basics, development processes for electronic systems / software, and the methods and tools used in the development, manufacture, and service of electronic systems are described in this book, which was translated from German into English by Roger Carey.
