A Model-Based Approach to Facilitate Design of Homogeneous Redundant E/E Architectures

Designing the new generation of electronic and electrical architectures, guaranteeing reliable communication is a prerequisite. The fulfillment of this requirement is a challenging undertaking that requires advanced expertise and is time-consuming. This paper presents a novel model-based approach for automating the generation of optimized network architectures in the design phase, supporting homogeneous redundant routings. Our results indicate a linear growth of architecture synthesis time if the number of applications is growing while the number of nodes remains constant. Conversely, increasing the number of nodes results in exponential growth of the architecture synthesis time. We believe that the proposed approach contributes to facilitating the design of safe E/E architectures.
