Variability, hard real time, increasing functional complexity (due to emissions and driveability standards), limited hardware (HW) resources : these are some of the – sometimes antagonistic – constraints a modern Engine Management Software (EMS) has to deal with. In addition, to face the price reductions in the automotive electronics industry, an intensive reuse strategy is deployed, based on a platform architecture and a component based development, despite the high functional coupling between those components, characteristic to the engine management area.
