Preface
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR AUTOMOTIVE
SYSTEMS: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS
This book explores the concept of principles and applications of software engineer-
ing in automotive systems for both beginners and advanced software engineers.
This book presents the state of the art, challenges, and future trends in automotive
software engineering.
The amount of automotive software in today’s cars is inevitable in the current sce-
nario, and working in the EV industry and on futuristic flying cars seems to continue
in the years to come. The Indian automobile sector is predicted to have a prominent
impact on the global economy and to be a promising employment domain for young
minds, directly or indirectly, in the forthcoming years.
This book mainly targets this group or audience such as professionals working
with automotive software and software engineering students who need to understand
the specifics of automotive software. The book covers all the basic essential aspects
of the automotive software field. As the first part, it introduces the topic related
to AUTOSAR, communication protocols used in the automotive domain, and then
it addresses the bootloader design of automotive software development, software
architecture for autonomous trouble code diagnostics, automotive grade Linux for
connected cars, edge computing for automotive applications, and nanosensors for
future automotive applications. This book serves as a reliable, complete, and well-
documented source of information on automotive software systems.
The chapters of this book will give a wide range of analysis on principles and
applications of software engineering for automotive systems. A brief introduction to
each chapter is as follows:
• Chapter 1 discusses the role of AUTOSAR in automotive software trends
and the difference between traditional and adaptive AUTOSAR.
• Chapter 2 depicts the need for a common protocol in automotive commu-
nication systems and outlines the protocols used in automotive systems.
• Chapter 3 illustrates the design of bootloader software for an ADAS system
and also discusses the security challenges faced during the updating of soft-
ware and applications in the ADAS systems.
• Chapter 4 presents the notion of design requirements generally and describes
the categories of requirements used when designing automotive software
systems by emphasizing the identification of problems or challenges faced
in automotive requirement engineering with reference to communication
and organization structure.
• Chapter 5 proposes an on-board diagnostic system that has software
architecture to solve the issues and alert the users with the help of trouble-
shooting codes.

viii Preface
• Chapter 6 discusses the open-source architecture for connected cars using
automotive grade Linux to allow the accelerated creation of new technology
and applications.
• Chapter 7 discusses the application of edge computing in the automotive
domain. Usage of edge computing increases the computational capability
of the nodes, enhances the application delivery time, and reduces the scope
of congestion.
• Chapter 8 deals with nanomaterials and nanostructures used for the devel-
opment of nanosensors for automotive applications.
We are grateful to the authors and reviewers for their excellent contributions in
making this book possible.
We are grateful to CRC Press and Taylor and Francis Group, especially to
Gauravjeet Singh Reen (Senior Commissioning Editor) for the excellent collabora-
tion and support.
This edited book covers the theory and case studies of software engineering for
automotive systems. We hope the chapters presented will inspire researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry to spur further advances in the field.
