Wie kann die funktionale Sicherheit in Fahrzeugen zukunftssicher und effektiv gewährleistet werden? Und wie kann dies speziell in elektrifizierten Antrieben gelingen? Mit dieser Aufgabenstellung haben sich AVL in Kooperation mit dem LaS³ und der Universität der Bundeswehr München in einem Forschungsprojekt beschäftigt. Die Antwort lautet: Die automatischen Speichertests in Zusammenspiel mit der Programmfluss-Überwachung und redundanter Hardware können besonders effektiv durch die „Codierte Verarbeitung“ ersetzt werden. Denn hier wird die Diversität in Software erhöht, um die aufwendigere und kostspielige Redundanz von Hardware zu reduzieren.
Genetic optimization of real-time multicore systems with respect to communication-based metrics

Reasonable integration of gesture-based automotive HMI-functionality offers potential safety benefits by reducing driver distractions and glance times to operate tertiary in-car devices. Stereo camera systems are a well investigated choice to perform the task of generating depth data for spatial gesture recognition. This paper describes the functionality of our stereo vision software, which is intended for application in a target system based on CMOS wafer-level cameras. The retrieved point cloud data was passed to a gesture-based sample application.
Software process models are fairly abstract tools for organizing large, complex software development projects. Since particularly undergraduate students commonly do not have any experience in being part of such a project, their understanding of the benefits and shortcomings of particular process models is very limited. Even more, frequently they are not aware of the need to follow a particular process model since their previous one-person software assignments were too small for requiring any such model at all.

Optimizing Software Integration Testing by Considering Integration Testability and Test Complexity
(2012)
The requirements for safety-related software systems increases rapidly. To detect arbitrary hardware faults, there are applicable coding mechanism, that add redundancy to the software. In this way it is possible to replace conventional multi-channel hardware and so reduce costs. Arithmetic codes are one possibility of coded processing and are used in this approach. A further approach to increase fault tolerance is the multiple execution of certain critical parts of software. This kind of time redundancy is easily realized by the parallel processing in an operating system. Faults in the program flow can be monitored. No special compilers, that insert additional generated code into the existing program, are required. The usage of multi-core processors would further increase the performance of such multi-channel software systems. In this paper we present the approach of program flow monitoring combined with coded processing, which is encapsulated in a library of coded data types. The program flow monitoring is indirectly realized by means of an operating system.
This paper describes the background and the theory of the learning arrangement “The Regensburg Concept of P 1 - Seminars” and its potential fields of application. This conception was designed to meet the various requirements caused by the Bologna Accords and the restructuring of the senior years of German secondary school education. At the same time it aims at finding solutions for a severe problem topical in Germany: the lack of students qualifying in MINT (the fields of mathematics, informatics, natural sciences and techniques.) The focus of this conception is on the cooperation between universities and schools hence a draft of the P-Seminar has already been realized and evaluated during a pilot phase at a local secondary school. These experiences serve as a solid basis for the development of a concrete plan that makes it possible to transfer the concept to similar projects in future. In the following paragraphs keywords that are applied to the lexical field of the Regensburg Concept are elaborated e.g. "practive learning", an interaction of practical and active learning.

Partly Proportionate fair (Partly-Pfair) scheduling, which allows task migration at runtime and assigns each task processing time with regard to its weight, makes it possible to build highly efficient embedded multi-core systems. Due to its non-work-conserving behavior, which might leave the CPU idle even when tasks are ready to execute, tasks finish only shortly before their deadlines are reached. Benefits are lower task jitter, but additional workload, e.g. through interrupts, can lead to deadline violations. In this paper we present a work-conserving extension of Partly-Pfair scheduling, called PERfair scheduling and the algorithm P-ERfair-PD2 which applies Pfair modifications used for Partly-Pfair on the concept of ERfairness and PD2 policies. With a simulation based schedulability examination we show for multiple time base (MTB) task sets that P-ERfair- PD2 has the same performance as Partly-Pfair-PD2. Additionally, we show that P-ERfair- PD2 has a much higher robustness against perturbations, and therefore it is well suited for embedded domains, especially for the Automotive domain.
The advantages of component-based systems include reuse of generic components as well as adaption through variants. However, they bare a high risk of containing incompatibilities between components, due to the lack of control over the integration-relevant aspects of their components. Current development processes are able to detect incompatibilities between components only at very late stages of system development. The Virtual Integration methodology is an approach to detect and to solve compatibility issues during early stages of system design. The methodology supports developers with a set of measures to reduce the risk of incompatibilities to a minimum at each abstraction layer of their system architecture. Realtime requirements of embedded systems make it necessary to support the methodology with a formal model, which can describe dynamic properties of these systems. In our approach, we use interface automata because they offer a lightweight formalism to describe the behavior of components and to verify their compatibility based on these descriptions. In a feasibility study we show, to which extend interface automata are adequate for the foresaid purpose in the automotive application field.
Eingebettete Systeme unterliegen neben den funktionalen Anforderungen besonders nichtfunktionalen Qualitätsanforderungen wie Effizienz, Zuverlässigkeit und Echtzeitfähigkeit. Mit steigendem Bedarf an Rechenkapazität können bisherige Konzepte zur Leistungssteigerung von Singlecore-Systemen jedoch nicht mehr eingesetzt werden - der Umstieg auf Multicore-Systeme wird erforderlich. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wird ein simulationsbasierter Ansatz zum Vergleich von Multicore-Scheduling-Algorithmen vorgestellt, mit dem Algorithmen für Multicore-Systeme mit voller Migration und dynamischer Task-Priorität untersucht werden. Wir erweitern diesen Ansatz um ein Verfahren zur Untersuchung einer Tasksetmenge mit stochastisch beschriebenen Eigenschaften und vergleichen ihn mit den im Teil 1 beschriebenen Algorithmen BinPacking-EDF und P-ERfair-PD² für eine Gruppe von Automotive Powertrain Systemen.
Proportionate fair (Pfair) scheduling, which allows task migration at runtime and assigns each task processing time with regard to its weight, is one of the most efficient group of SMP multiprocessor scheduling algorithms known up to now. Drawbacks are tight requirements to the task system, namely the restriction to periodic task systems with synchronized task activation, quantized task execution time, and implicit task deadline. Most likely, a typical embedded real-time system does not fulfill these requirements. In this paper we address violations of these requirements. For heterogeneous task systems, we define the multiple time base (MTB) task system, which is a less pessimistic model than sporadic task systems and is used for automotive systems. We apply the concept of Pfair scheduling to MTB task systems, called partly proportionate fair (Partly-Pfair) scheduling. The restrictions on MTB task systems required for Partly-Pfair ness are weaker than restrictions on periodic task systems required for Pfair ness. In a simulation based study we examined the performance of Partly-Pfair-PD and found it capable to schedule feasible MTB task sets causing a load of up to 100% of the system capacity.
This paper presents an overview on qualification and certification of tools used in the phases of the safety lifecycle for safety-critical applications, either for development or for verification and validation. Software development tools are widely used in the development of safety-critical software systems. More verification and validation procedures will be automated by software tools to reduce time consuming manual testing. The impact of software tools on functional safety is discussed. Based on normative regulations like IEC 61508 and ISO DIS 26262 different approaches for tool qualification and certification are presented.
Embedded real-time systems are often used in harsh environments, for example engine control systems in automotive vehicles. In such ECUs (Engine Control Unit) faults can lead to serious accidents. In this paper we propose a safety embedded architecture based on coded processing. This framework only needs two channels to provide fault tolerance and allows the detection and identification of permanent and transient faults. Once a fault is detected by an observer unit the SES guard makes it visible and initiates a suitable failure reaction.
Der Embedded Markt stellt sich auf eine neue Herausforderung ein: denUmstieg von Singlecore- auf Multicore-Prozessorsysteme. Dabei soll dieUmsetzung der Norm ISO 26262 die Funktionale Sicherheit der elektri-schen und elektronischen Systeme im Kraftfahrzeug gewährleisten. In diesem Beitrag betrachten die Hochschule Regensburg und die TÜV SüdAutomotive GmbH das Scheduling eines Echtzeitsystems als ein sicher-heitsrelevantes Sub-System.
Eingebettete Systeme unterliegen neben den funktionalen Anforderungen besonders nicht funktionalen Qualitätsanforderungen wie Effizienz, Zuverlässigkeit und Echtzeitfähigkeit. Mit steigendem Bedarf an Rechenkapazität können bisherige Konzepte zur Leistungssteigerung von Singlecore-Systemen jedoch nicht mehr eingesetzt werden – der Umstieg auf Multicore-Systeme wird erforderlich. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit werden eine mögliche Prozessorarchitektur für zukünftige Automotive Multicore-Systeme und die Abstraktion der Software für diese Systeme vorgestellt. Nach einer Klassifkation von Multicore-Scheduling-Algorithmen präsentieren wir exemplarisch einen Algorithmus mit statischer Taskallokation und einen Algorithmus mit dynamischer Taskallokation. Bei beiden Algorithmen handelt es sich um eine Überführung theoretisch behandelter Algorithmen auf Automotive Systeme.
