Abstract: This session will feature both experts in the domain of virtualization mechanisms used to reduce the number of hardware processors in automotive electronics and potential users of the technology. Traditionally, adding new information processing functionality in cars required the addition of new computing hardware, leading to unacceptable growth in the number of microcontrollers. Virtualization of resources will be used to implement different applications on shared physical hardware. Applications will run on virtual platforms, being appropriately shielded from other applications through adequate protection mechanisms. Virtual platforms are a very hot topic in the automotive industry these days, as witnessed by the high activity around the AUTOSAR standardization effort. DAC is focusing on automotive electronics in 2007. Designing for a virtual automotive platform involves the interplay of several factors and impacts all aspects of safety-critical distributed embedded system design including HW, SW, applications, Real-Time scheduling, and communication protocols.
