Abstract

Component based development, which had been successful in enterprise computing, shows promises to be a good development model for automotive systems. This is possible if several dependability concerns of the embedded systems can be properly addressed by the models, frameworks and integration platforms. SaveCCM is a component model for automotive systems developed by employing component based system design. Our ongoing research is related to estimation of software reliability for this model. In this paper, we provide a survey of the state of the art on research techniques for the estimation of system reliability based on component reliabilities and architectures. We further discuss their pros and cons with reference to our architectural model and discuss some practical considerations. Based on this we also present the basics of our approach to reliability modeling of SaveCCM architectures.
