A Model-Based Design Tool of Automotive Software Architecture

As the complexity and size of software in automotive embedded systems has grown steadily over the years, model-based software development is widely accepted by automotive industrial. A recent automotive standard, AUTOSAR gives developers a good opportunity to keep up with this trend. In this paper, to help develop automotive embedded software based on AUTOSAR, we propose a practical tool called ASAD(AUTOSAR Software Architecture Designer). ASAD, aside from the AUTOSAR software modeling environment, provides scalability and consistency.
