After more than four years of collaborative efforts, the CompEAS-BSW (Basic Software) and CompEAS-HW (Hardware) projects have successfully concluded. It is truly remarkable to see how close cooperation between industry and academia drives innovation for compositional automotive software and embedded hardware systems. A special thanks to Pro²Future, Graz University of Technology’s Institute of Technical Informatics (specifically the EAS Group – Embedded Architectures & Systems), Elektrobit, and Infineon for their invaluable support, constructive feedback, and commitment to pushing boundaries together.
Key achievements include:
⚙️ Developing a framework for maintainable and compositional basic software in the automotive domain.
⏱️ Designing real-time scheduling algorithms that guarantee performance and optimize memory usage without excessive overhead.
✅ Providing mathematical and formal proofs for liveness and schedulability of critical real-time functions.
🔋 Creating a modular measurement platform to capture fine-grained power consumption, voltage spikes, and power peaks in embedded hardware platforms.
These results highlight the transformative potential of industry–academia partnerships for advancing next-generation automotive solutions. Looking forward to continuing in follow-up projects in the next 4+ years.
