Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Two strategies that have significantly changed the way we conventionally think about managing software development and sustainment are the family of development approaches collectively referred to as agile methods, and the distribution of development efforts on a global scale. When you combine the two strategies, organizations have to address not only the technical challenges that arise from introducing new ways of working, but more importantly have to manage the 'soft' factors that if ignored lead to hard challenges. Using two case studies of distributed agile software development in India we illustrate the areas that organizations need to be aware of when transitioning work to India. The key issues that we emphasize are the need to recruit and retain personnel; the importance of teaching, mentoring and coaching; the need to manage customer expectations; the criticality of well-articulated senior leadership vision and commitment; and the reality of operating in a heterogeneous process environment.

- Real-time systems are defined as systems in which the correctness of the system depends not only on the logical correctness of the computation, but also on the time at which the result is produced. Honeywell's choice of the Time Triggered Protocol (TTP) for a low cost avionics bus in 2001, exemplifies the industry trend to using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components to implement real-time systems. The driving factors behind the trend are the introduction of SoC devices (Systems on a Chip) that contain processors, memory, network access, I/O interface, system and application software, and smart MEMS transducers which contain the sensing element, the signal conditioning logic and network access logic on a single silicon die. In this paper, we compare and contrast TTP, FlexRay and MIL-STD-1553 architectures in terms of the basic requirements for a systems bus, namely, network architecture, bus access, message formats, clock synchronization, fault tolerance, error detection and tool support.

Vehicular Software Engineering:Understanding the State of the Art
- 2009
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This annotated bibliography was developed as a means of creating a baseline of the state-of-the-art in vehicular software engineering. When we started the literature review for the project, the focus was on automotive software engineering, and as the review progressed, we realized the importance of expanding the scope to vehicular software engineering. Each of the three broad subsectors within the vehicular sector: automotive, trucks/buses, other specialty equipment; provide different insights into the challenges created by the use of software. Within the three sectors, the automotive sector has the highest volume, and at the same time is driven by the conventional pressures of lowering unit costs. The trucks/buses sector provides the greatest variation in software configurations since each buyer attempts to tailor the software components to their unique requirements. The specialty equipment sector has the least variance, but still leverages software to be a product differentiator.
