Automotive Embedded Systems-Model Based Approach Review

The evolution of transforming from an electrical mechanical engineering discipline to a combination of software and electrical/mechanical engineering establishes software as a crucial technology. The current complex automotive system is the product of growth of embedded software. As a result, automotive industry focuses on a new trend Model based development rather than traditional method where software is handwritten in Assembly code or C language. This paper presents a review of the use of Model based Development to accelerate development process of embedded control systems and technologies. The paper also presents a review of the tools used to support Model-Based Development (MBD) from functional requirements to automated testing and Model based testing process
