Integration of user interface, middleware, and services in automotive IVI systems

Abstract

This paper describes a model-based approach for integration of car infotainment systems. These systems consist of different hardware and software components from different vendors with no common standardized interfaces. We propose modeling these components to create a system description that can be transformed semi-automatically into the so-called “glue code” that is used to string the different components together. The approach fosters reuse of glue code fragments, leading to reduced development effort and higher reliability.
