- Rhapsody AUTOSAR Pack Automates Creation of AUTOSAR Systems including
the Design and Exchange of AUTOSAR Software Components -
MALMO, Sweden & IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telelogic (Stockholm Exchange/MidCap/TLOG), the leading provider of
software solutions that align advanced systems and software development
with business objectives, today announced the release of the Telelogic
Rhapsody® AUTOSAR Pack for the Model-Driven
Development (MDD) of automotive systems and software applications. This
pack is the first automotive-specific MDD environment to leverage the
Unified Modeling LanguageTM (UMLTM)
and the Systems Modeling LanguageTM (SysMLTM).
Using Telelogic Rhapsody, automotive engineers can now reuse
specifications for common vehicle features across multiple automobile
product lines, improving time-to-market while increasing brand
consistency among designs.
AUTOSAR is a standards organization created to provide an open standard
for automotive architecture for developing vehicular software, user
interfaces and management. Phase one of the AUTOSAR project will be
finalized before the end of 2006, and the Rhapsody AUTOSAR Pack will be
available when AUTOSAR specifications are released to the public.
Its experience serving the automotive market, and its leadership in
defining the AUTOSAR specification as an AUTOSAR Premium Member,
uniquely qualifies Telelogic as an AUTOSAR Systems modeling solution
provider. The Rhapsody AUTOSAR Pack includes an AUTOSAR modeling
environment with capabilities for importing and exporting AUTOSAR XML
documentation. These capabilities enable users to easily integrate
AUTOSAR system modeling into their process and tool chain. Additionally,
the Rhapsody AUTOSAR Pack allows engineers to define AUTOSAR software
components and the communication between them independent of their
implementation: Components can be deployed on multiple architectures,
increasing both process flexibility and software component specification
reuse.
"Building on our longstanding commitment to
the automotive sector and more recently to AUTOSAR, we are proud to be
the first to offer an AUTOSAR Systems modeling environment based on UML
and SysML. The Rhapsody AUTOSAR Pack provides the automotive market with
a flexible solution that empowers developers to build high quality,
versatile automotive software," said Ingemar
Ljungdahl, chief technology officer, Telelogic.
The Rhapsody AUTOSAR Pack The Rhapsody AUTOSAR pack delivers an AUTOSAR
modeling environment that allows users to capture AUTOSAR system models,
using AUTOSAR-specific diagrams, notations and terminology. This is
achieved with five new AUTOSAR diagrams. - Systems Diagram is used to
capture the overall AUTOSAR system. - Software Component Diagram is used
to define the software architecture. - Internal Behavior Diagram is used
to specify the interface between the AUTOSAR System and the standard
AUTOSAR Run-Time Environment (RTE) with which it will integrate. - ECU
Diagram is used to define the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) types and
their communication ports. - Topology diagram is used to define the
physical topology or physical architecture of the system including all
the ECUs in the automobile and how they are connected.
"Telelogic is leading the market with the
first ever AUTOSAR solution based on a UML and SysML Model-Driven
Development environment. It is appropriate that Telelogic, one of AUTOSAR's
Premium members, would extend the multiple benefits of the AUTOSAR
standard in an MDD environment, enabling engineers to design AUTOSAR
Systems and seamlessly exchange them within the AUTOSAR workflow and
process," said Dr. Joerg-Volker Mueller,
Technical Director, LINEAS Automotive GmbH. "Telelogic's
commitment to standards combined with Rhapsody's
flexibility are key reasons we have decided to partner with Telelogic to
combine their products with our expertise in implementing AUTOSAR
solutions".
About AUTOSAR
The goal of the AUTOSAR partnership is the establishment of an open
standard for automotive software architecture. It will serve as a basic
infrastructure for the management of functions within both future
applications and standard software modules. Key objectives include
standardization of basic system functions as an industry wide "standard
core" solution, scalability to different vehicle and platform variants,
integration of functional modules from multiple suppliers and
maintainability throughout the whole "Product Life Cycle". The AUTOSAR
scope includes all vehicle domains. For more information visit
