DOMAIN-CROSSING SOFTWARE PRODUCT LINES IN EMBEDDED, AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS

摘要

The development of software-functions in the automotive domain is subject to multiple conditions. These conditions are for example the rising number of various functions in the car, the simultaneously increasing cost pressure and shortened development cycles. To come up with these conditions, an improvement of reuse is very promising. In this paper the point of view is that a software-function is separable in two domains, the application-domain and the standard-software-domain. Looking at the reuse activities of both domains together provides more generality and synergy-effects. A reuse approach that fits both domains is the approach of domain-crossing software product lines. This paper reports about an ongoing research project about adapting of software product lines in the specific domains and describes a concept for bringing them together. For proving the concept an accompanying tool was implemented and is introduced afterwards.
