EAST-ADL is an Architecture Description Language (ADL) initially defined in several European-funded research projects and aligned with AUTOSAR and ISO26262. It provides a comprehensive approach for defining automotive electronic systems through an information model that captures engineering information in a standardized form. Aspects covered include vehicle features, requirements, analysis functions, software and hardware components and communication. The representation of the system's implementation is not defined in EAST-ADL itself but by AUTOSAR. However, traceability is supported from EAST-ADL's lower abstraction levels to the implementation level elements in AUTOSAR. In this article the authors describe EAST-ADL in detail, show how it relates to AUTOSAR as well as other significant automotive standards and present recent research work on using and advancing EAST-ADL, the functional safety standard ISO 26262, heterogeneous multi \/ many core architectures, security and for multi-objective optimization.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijsda.2016070101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,9]],"date-time":"2016-06-09T23:18:20Z","timestamp":1465514300000},"page":"1-20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["EAST-ADL"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Hans","family":"Blom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Volvo Group, Gothenburg, Sweden"}]},{"given":"De-Jiu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Industrial Engineering and Management, Department of Machine Design, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden"}]},{"given":"Henrik","family":"Kaijser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Volvo Group, Gothenburg, Sweden"}]},{"given":"Henrik","family":"L\u00f6nn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Volvo Group, Gothenburg, Sweden"}]},{"given":"Yiannis","family":"Papadopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Hull, Hull, UK"}]},{"given":"Mark-Oliver","family":"Reiser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NumberFour AG, Berlin, Germany"}]},{"given":"Ramin Tavakoli","family":"Kolagari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Computer Science, Nuremberg Institute of Technology, Nuremberg, Germany"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Tucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LIST, CEA, Gif sur Yvette, France"}]}],"member":"2432","container-title":["International Journal of System Dynamics Applications"],"original-title":[],"language":"ng","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.igi-global.com\/viewtitle.aspx?TitleId=156512","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,2]],"date-time":"2022-06-02T03:41:24Z","timestamp":1654141284000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/services.igi-global.com\/resolvedoi\/resolve.aspx?doi=10.4018\/IJSDA.2016070101"}},"subtitle":["An Architecture Description Language for Automotive Software-intensive Systems in the Light of Recent use and Research"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,7]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4018\/ijsda.2016070101","relation":{},"ISSN":["2160-9772","2160-9799"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2160-9772","type":"print"},{"value":"2160-9799","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,1]]}}}
