Abstract

The complexity of software running on vehicular embedded systems is constantly increasing and this negatively affects its development costs and time to market. One way to deal with these issues is to boost abstraction in the form of models to (i) ease the reasoning about the system architecture, (ii) automate certain stages of the development, (iii) early detect flaws in the system architecture through fundamental analysis and (iv) take appropriate countermeasures before the system is implemented. Considering the importance of timing requirements in the design of software for vehicular embedded systems, in this licentiate thesis we leverage Model-Driven Engineering for realizing a semi-automatic approach which allows the developer to perform end-to-end delay timing analysis on design models, without having to manually model timing elements and set their values. The proposed approach, starting from a design model of an automotive software functionality, automatically generates a set of models enriched with timing elements whose values are set at generation time. End-to-end delay timing analysis is run on the generated models and, based on the analysis results, the approach automatically selects the generated models which better meet a specific set of timing requirements.
