Abstract

Without doubt, AUTOSAR – the acronym stands for AUTomotive Open System Architecture– is at present the leading trend in automotive engineering where all leading OEMs and suppliers participate.The mission statement of AUTOSAR is to “pave the way for innovative systems” and to be “a key enabling technology to manage complexity”. AUTOSAR propagates the motto “Cooperate on standards, compete on implementation.” With AUTOSAR under full steam it’s high time to learn about the AUTOSAR consortium, how AUTOSAR works, and, from a software engineering perspective, how software in tomorrow’s cars will be created and how it will look like. This two hour talk will present AUTOSAR, challenges, and opportunities.
