Case Studies on E/E Architectures for Power Window and Central Door Locks Systems

Architectural optimization for software-intensive systems is an emerging area. The automotive industry needs optimized architectures in order to develop cheaper, lighter, and more reliable cars which are growing in software complexity. However, there is a lack of benchmarks that are used to evaluate the performance of the optimzation algorithms which target the area of architecture optimization, as proposed by Aleti et. al. in [2]. In this technical report, we contribute two automotive electric/electronic (E/E) architecture case studies for a power window and a door locks systems. Additionally, we define a reference model focused on early design, which is similar to the EASTADL domain model. We use the modeling language Clafer to model both case studies; however, we provide sufficient details to allow researchers replicating them in other modeling languages such as SysML or AADL.
