Abstract

AUTOSAR is a recent specification initiative which focuses on a model-driven architecture like methodology for automotive applications. However, needed engineering steps, or how-to-come from a logical to a technical architecture respectively implementation, are not well supported by tools, yet. In contrast, SystemC offers a comprehensive way to simulate, analyze, and verify software. Furthermore, it is even able to take the timing behavior of underlying hardware and communication paths into account. Already at a first glance, there are many similarities with respect to the modeling structure between the both concepts. Therefore, this paper discusses approaches on how to use SystemC during the design process of AUTOSAR-conform systems.
