Experiences with automotive service modeling

Abstract

Existing component-based development in the automotive world is showing the strain, as systems grow ever larger and start to interact with systems in the world outside the vehicle. A service-oriented approach offers benefits of modularity and runtime configurability, but raises challenges of a suitable language and platform. We examine the applicability of BPEL to automotive services. From our preliminary results we suggest the need for Domain-Specific Modeling to better address the particular requirements of the automotive service domain.
