Abstract

IT companies like Google and Apple are entering the automotive market with disruptive technologies such as autonomous driving, enabled by numerous sensors evaluated by software. These sensors allow vehicles to recognize their context and passengers and react accordingly by adjusting features like interior temperature based on solar radiation and temperature. The domain-specific modeling language (DSML) SenSoMod incorporates these sensors early in software architecture design. Established automakers face challenges integrating more software components in the product development process (PEP). Optimizing the supply chain has led to a lack of common understanding of requirements and development. This multilayered process must now meet additional requirements for complex software development. SenSoMod can help by uniformly considering sensors across the supply chain, aiding in the implementation of context-aware software in vehicles. In this paper, experts from the automotive industry have assessed SenSoMod by its potential benefits and challenges in the automotive development process.
