Modeling, Analysis, and Optimization of Automotive Networks

Since many years, the automotive industry is an importantkey driver in embedded system design and development.The vast majority of current technical innovations in modernvehicles such as advanced driver assistance systems or multimediasystems are realized or supported by electronicsolutions. As a result, the amount of software and hardwarein modern vehicles dramatically increased.To cope with the complexity and heterogeneity of state-of-the-art automotive networks, the work at hand providesnovel system-level design methodologies. In detail, thiswork presents an efficient design space exploration modelfor the automotive domain, a compositional real-timeanalysis technique, a reliability analysis technique thatenables the exploitation of data redundancy, a robustdesign methodology, and a bus scheduling for the automotive-specific FlexRay protocol. von Lukasiewycz, Martin
