Purpose and goal
The project has successfully demonstrated the possibility that in the context of AUTOSAR implement mechanisms for flexible plug-in software, in a concept called federated embedded systems. This concept offers the potential for shortening the lead time, the ability to build systems-of-systems, and the opportunity for open innovation. The project has also developed an open demonstration platform which has been published on the website moped.sics.se.
Results and expected effects
The project has demonstrated the technical concept that has been in focus. This gives the industry access to a prototype implementation that can be processed further in future product development. The project has also directly and indirectly contributed to several other projects, among others, is studying how the concept affects business models, architecture, methods, processes, tools and quality assurance. The test bed developed in the project has great value in other research and educational purposes.
Approach and implementation
The project was conducted in close collaboration between research and industry participants. Approximately once per quarter, all project participants gathered for a review of the status and planning for the next phase, including demonstrations. In between, the project has been carried out in the week-long iterations, with follow-up and review the status of each iteration.
