Model-Driven Development and Rapid Prototyping of Embedded Software for Automotive Door Module

Abstract

In recent years, The embedded software has been more complex and huge to satify all the various requirements of the rapidly changing automotive market. To meet the requirements, Documents-based development method is steadily changing into model-driven development method in automotive embedded software. Model-driven development method has a lot of advantages for maintaining cost, manpower and developments cycle by using smooth communication, error detection and correction. In this paper, we will show model-driven development procedures and advantages using specific communication tool as well as UML(Unified Modeling Language) model and tool which is needed for auto-code generation works. The door module which is a kind of automotive embedded system is raplidly prototyped as the practical example.
