Model-Based Development of In-Vehicle Software

Mathematical modeling, which already is established for a long time in many engineering domains, now also gains strongly in importance in the development of embedded software. In the automotive sector (Schauffele and Zurawka, 2003), modeling is used on the one hand for the conceptual anticipation of the functionality to be realized (open/closed loop control, monitoring) and, on the other, for the simulation of the behavior of real physical systems (plant, environment)
