Model-Based Design & Rapid Prototyping

Abstract Mastering complexity of embedded automotive systems while not compromising quality is one of the main research topics in embedded systems. The SEA-Design Chain based on rich component models provides early validation results for nonfunctional properties of embedded automotive systems. While rapid prototyping systems are well established for early functional validation, they will assume an additional role in the SEA-Design Chain in validating architectural models used for the ECU's microcontroller specification.
