Design-Patterns Based Development of an Automotive Middleware
Résumé
An automotive middleware layer masks the heterogeneity of platforms, and provides high level communication services to applicative tasks. In addition, this layer 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 a set of tasks well characterized representing the middleware's implementation, is presented. This architecture is built with a set of design patterns, and identifies a set of middleware tasks whose characteristics allow the execution of an algorithm trying to determine a feasible priority allocation for the set of applicative and middleware tasks.
