Current design practice and needs in selected sectors

From the point of view of automotive manufacturers, there is a constant market demand for increased vehicle performance, more functionality, less fuel consumption and less exhausts, all of these at lower costs. Also, there is a need for shorter time-to-market and reduced development and manufacturing costs. These, combined with the advancements of semiconductor technology, which is delivering ever increasing performance at lower and lower costs, has led to the rapid increase in the number of electronically controlled functions onboard a vehicle [4].
