In the last years, the automotive sector has increasingly focused on control electronics: it is just sufficient to think that a common car has hundreds of MCU-based Embedded Systems, suitable for obtaining a more reliable, precise and avant-garde finished product. This has led to an increase of complexity in development processes. Due to the continuous demand of higher quality and limitations on time to market, the concept of Model-Based Software Design has started to be more and more used. In fields where a missed deadline could harm the user, Real-Time Operating Systems are a mandatory choice. Based on results of process analysis aimed to understand how to reduce the time spent in software development, French and German automotive companies created the OSEK/DVX consortia, giving life to a standardization of the Embedded software components that required the biggest effort during development process.
