4th International ICSE Workshop on Software Engineering for Automotive Systems

The amount of software in cars grows exponentially. Driving forces of this development are the availability of cheaper and more powerful hardware as well as the demand for innovation through new functionality. The rapidly growing significance of software and software-based functionality is at the root of various challenges in the automotive industries, concerning their organization, definition of key competencies, processes, methods, tools, models, product structures, division of labor, logistics, maintenance, and long term strategies [1,2].
