EAST-ADL Course

​

EAST-ADL (Electronics Architecture and Software Technology – Architecture Description Language) is a modeling language for developing industrial scale automotive embedded systems. It covers the specification of vehicle features, functional architectures and hardware architectures — all related to traceable requirements. It has extensions to focus on various concerns within automotive systems, such as verification and validation, dependability and error modeling, as well as timing.

​

The models of EAST-ADL are structured in abstraction levels, where each sub-model represents the complete embedded system at the relevant level of detail. These levels are vehicle level, analysis level, design level, and implementation level. In Addition EAST-ADL allows a hierarchical presentation of requirements by introducing requirement relationship like “refine” or “derive”.

 

The course make use of MetaEdit+ tool from Metacase. It is a collaborative development environment which allows engineers to create, edit and browse the various kind of architecture specifications created with EAST-ADL language.

​

My course is mainly based on practice. We will go in details into a case study : an Intelligent Speed Adaptation driving assistance system. All the various steps will be investigated in-depth : requirements, vehicle project level, vehicle features, functional analysis architecture and functional design (FDA). Then a hardware implementation will be designed and the FDA will be mapped into it.
