Guidelines for the development of a communication middleware for automotive applications

1 TRIO - Real time and interoperability

An automotive middleware layer masks the heterogeneity of platforms, and provides high level communication services to applicative tasks. In addition, it is a software architecture, shared between car makers and third-part suppliers, ensuring the portability and interoperability of the applicative tasks. In this study, a method aiming at developing the middleware's software architecture, and obtaining feasible scheduling parameters for network frames and middleware and applicative tasks, is presented. The architecture is built with a set of design patterns, and identifies a set of tasks executing the middleware's communication services. The scheduling parameters of frames and tasks are determined such that the timing constraints on tasks and signals are met.
