A methodology for Electrics/Electronics platform release management in the automotive domain
Platform strategies, originating from pure hardware platforms, have proven effective in optimizing development processes in the automotive domain. Over time, software-driven innovations have emerged as the primary origin of novel features in automotive systems, as exemplified by functionalities like lane-keeping assistants, traffic-sign recognition, and the prospect of autonomous driving. To address the growing importance of software, automotive manufacturers progressively incorporate principles of software-platform engineering, for instance, by adopting software product lines. However, a notable gap still persists in thoroughly managing all facets of a cyber–physical automotive system, which involves hardware, software, electronics, variability, and their complex interactions. Efforts to address this gap and to achieve holistic platform management have resulted in electrics/electronics platforms to emerge in the automotive domain; but these platforms and transitioning towards them have not been fully worked out, yet. In this article, we contribute to addressing this gap by proposing a methodology for holistic electrics/electronics platform release management. We present detailed explanations of our methodology and its individual guidelines, which we derived from practical requirements and subsequently validated through expert assessments. Specifically, we conducted a series of workshops involving eight practitioners at a large international automotive manufacturer. Our methodology and insights can help other researchers and practitioners who work on adopting electrics/electronics platform management and emphasize possible directions for future research.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Systems and Software publishes papers covering all aspects of software engineering and related hardware-software-systems issues. All articles should include a validation of the idea presented, e.g. through case studies, experiments, or systematic comparisons with other approaches already in practice. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
•Methods and tools for, and empirical studies on, software requirements, design, architecture, verification and validation, maintenance and evolution
•Agile, model-driven, service-oriented, open source and global software development
•Approaches for mobile, multiprocessing, real-time, distributed, cloud-based, dependable and virtualized systems
•Human factors and management concerns of software development
•Data management and big data issues of software systems
•Metrics and evaluation, data mining of software development resources
•Business and economic aspects of software development processes
The journal welcomes state-of-the-art surveys and reports of practical experience for all of these topics.
