- For distributed networks which will be mass produced, such as computer systems in modern cars, it is crucial to find cost efficient hardware. A distributed network in a car can consist of 100 nodes (ECUs). In this paper we consider the amount of memory needed for these nodes. The nodes should contain enough memory to survive several software generations. In this paper we show that UML component diagrams can be used to collect enough information for estimating memory size using an FSM method. We support our findings by an experiment containing several components in industrial setting.

- Technology roadmapping is a well known technique for knowledge building in the context of strategic product development, recently being applied also in the context of organizational development. This paper presents experiences from using roadmapping to support software process improvement work at one Ericsson unit; the unit develops embedded software for telecom network products, and seeks to improve its ability to assess and utilize emerging techniques for model based software engineering. The paper explores roadmapping and two other knowledge building techniques (grounded theory and maturity assessment) found to be valuable supplements to roadmapping in certain situations. The approach has been well received by the unit: appreciated features are that (1) the roadmap is grounded in data sources describing internal needs and technological options, and (2) that it provides a common knowledge base on top of which focused analyses may be built. The paper’s main ontribution is a set of action principles for knowledge building in the context of software process improvement.
