Abstract

Due to the AUTOSAR initiative, automotive suppliers as well as their customers and sub-suppliers will in the future face the challenge to exchange AUTOSAR specifications instead of structured documents with arbitrary specification attachments. The consequential main tasks for the suppliers will be to implement model-based representation of artifacts as early as possible in the system development process. Thus, it would be desirable to link strategic elements in the context of product family development and technical aspects concerning model management and representation in AUTOSAR. This paper presents the results of an industrial case study in requirements engineering of software-intensive automotive systems, aiming at a process streamlined to both, the strategic demands of the supplier and the technical demands of AUTOSAR. The main contribution of this paper is the connection of feature models and assets in AUTOSAR descriptions. This paper presents work in progress including the developed concepts and feasibility studies.
