This paper discusses (based on Automotive industry examples) how the functional and requirements traceability concepts in Automotive SPICE had to be extended to cover the criteria and content demanded by ISO 26262. In a second section the paper describes how these new concepts are considered in the integrated Automotive SPICE and Safety assessment approach which was proposed by the SOQRATES ini...

Several applications to automotive engineering of the advanced computational inverse techniques have been reported in this paper. The computational inverse techniques, such as gradient based methods with genetic algorithms, intergeneration projection genetic algorithms, progressive neural networks, reduced-base methods, etc. are firstly introduced. After that the applications to automotive engi...

We report on our experiences and observations from the automotive industry on a multi-year evolution of a complex telematics system that provides remote access to connected vehicles.
