Network Architecture of a Modern Automotive Infotainment System

How the 1394 Automotive Network Simplifies Infotainment Delivery

Embedded Virtualization Techniques for Automotive Infotainment Applications

Automotive infotainment applications are examples of embedded systems in which a heterogeneous software stack is used, which most likely comprises a real-time operating system, an automotive-grade Linux, and possibly Android. Thanks to the availability of modern systems-on-a-chip providing multicore computing platforms, architects have the possibility of integrating the entire software stack in...

A Dynamically Reconfigurable Automotive Control System Architecture

This paper proposes a vehicular control system architecture that supports self-configuration. The architecture is based on dynamic mapping of processes and services to resources to meet the challenges of future demanding use-scenarios in which systems must be flexible to exhibit context-aware behaviour and to permit customization. The architecture comprises a number of low-level services that p...

Towards a Load Balancing Middleware for Automotive Infotainment Systems

In this paper a middleware for distributed automotive systems is developed. The goal of this middleware is to support the load balancing and service optimization in automotive infotainment and entertainment systems. These systems provide navigation, telecommunication, Internet, audio/video and many other services where a kind of dynamic load balancing mechanisms in addition to service quality o...

Adaptation of Automotive Infotainment Interfaces using Static and Dynamic Adapters

Software adaptation is a promising approach to building flexible interfaces for variable software systems. In this contribution we present a novel adapter modeling approach. The key idea is to split the adapter model into two parts. The first, the static adapter model, addresses the most usual adaptations in an easy way. The second, the dynamic adapter model, may be used for complex behavioral ...
