The software powering today's vehicles surpasses mechatronics as the dominating engineering challenge due to its fast evolving and innovative nature. In addition, the software and system architecture for upcoming vehicles with automated driving functionality is already processing ~750MB/s - corresponding to over 180 simultaneous 4K-video streams from popular video-on-demand services. Hence, self-driving...
An architect whose skills and capabilities match a project's needs will more likely be successful. Moreover, each software life-cycle phase requires different skills. A proposed model identifies the skills needed at each phase and helps explain common failure patterns.
This paper describes the problem context of software development for mass-produced embedded systems, with distinguishing factors such as the co-design of software and hardware, strong focus on manufacturing aspects, supplier involvement and safety-critical functionality. In this context there is a need for a holistic model to explain the failures and successes industrial projects, where just investigating...
Traditional analysis and design approaches focus on "fit for purpose." Experience with contextual environment concerns demonstrates that "fit to context" is a consideration that is equally significant for the appropriateness of the chosen architecture. We propose a multilevel, context-aware approach to software architecture that (1) treats contextual environment concerns as first...
Process patterns represent well-structured and successful recurring activities of Software Development Methodologies (SDMs). They are able to form a library of reusable building blocks that can be utilized in Situational Method Engineering (SME) for constructing a custom SDM or enhancing an existing one to fit specific project situation. Recently, some researchers have subjectively extracted process...
Component-based software engineering (CBSE) focuses on the reuse of already available software assets aiming better productivity and quality. By adopting software product line (SPL) practices, an organization is able to develop a family of products, each one targeting a particular market segment or platform. In this context, this paper presents a repository that allows the management of CBSE and SPL...
Software architecture has become essential in the struggle to manage today's increasingly large and complex systems. Software architecture views are created to capture important system characteristics on an abstract and, thus, comprehensible level. As the system is implemented and later maintained, it often deviates from the original design specification. Such deviations can have implication for the...
Cloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm. It aims to share data, calculations, and services transparently among users of a massive grid. Although the industry has started selling cloud-computing products, the software engineering infrastructure and application model are still unclear. In this paper, we compare cloud computing with service-oriented computing and pervasive computing. Both the...
Developers should consider contexts and their features carefully because they influence artifacts generated during the context-aware system development process. This paper is about context, its features, and their influence on the development. We introduce the definition context and its related concepts in measurable terms, and the features of context from the perspective of software development....
