Integrated software platform for automotive systems

Advances in microprocessor technology provide sophisticated automotive control systems, in both realtime systems and information control systems. However, this trend brought the electronic control unit (ECU) complexity and large-scale software. One important solution will be `Integration' on both software and hardware side. Center for Embedded Computing Systems, Nagoya University (NCES) has performed several studies regarding this integration for software platform, especially from the point of view of realtime operating systems.
