Process know-how is instrumental to govern engineering processes in a network of engineering departments as well as migrate changes of processes due to emerging technological or other opportunities. In this paper we present a process construction kit for the capture and dissemination of process knowledge at the level of process structures as well as process construction experience. Our approach...

The increasing usage of components in automotive systems is accompanied by complex dependencies of products as well as engineering and economic domains. Thus specialized analysis approaches and simulations are used to identify influences of domains and components on each other. Current research deals with database systems and data management approaches to integrate different engineering domains...

This paper gives an account of various challenges that are faced in the design and development of complex control systems and software, within the automotive and aerospace domains, in particular, which are highly relevant to the incorporation of active mechanisms for dynamic systems. It also analyses what new recent advances are helping some of these being overcome in the research and engineeri...

A Model-Based Development (MBD) Framework is proposed in this brief-paper. The paper motivates the need for integrating automotive control system development activities and describes engineering roles in such an environment. It also outlines the features of an integrated development environment designed to support these roles.

This paper describes an ongoing case study on management of engineering data to evaluate the use of Semantic Web technologies in automotive industry. This case study explores specifically the theme of data modeling, navigation and retrieval using Semantic Web, data presentation in html+svg and data analysis using neural networks. It implements a web crawler to automatically collect data of inte...

In this brief position paper we argue that model-driven engineering practices could be adopted in the design and evaluation of automotive UI. We illustrate how UML state machine models can be used for automatic generation of executable prototypes of the UI and for computing graph-theoretic metrics that could bear upon cognitive load.

We present an approach for adaptive object placement for Augmented Reality (AR) use in driver assistance systems. Combined vanishing point and road surface detection enable the real-time adaptive emplacement of AR objects within a drivers’ natural field of view for on-road information display. This work combines both automotive vision and multimedia production aspects of real-time visual engine...
