Samenvatting

Within the automotive industry, platform strategies are successfully used to efficiently develop large variant-rich systems. In parallel, new features in automotive systems continue to originate more and more from software-driven rather than hardware-driven innovations. To manage the growing relevance of software, automotive companies increasingly adopt concepts and methods from software-platform engineering, such as software product lines. However, there is a lack of concepts for integrated systems-platform engineering to support the management of hardware, software, and particularly their interactions within a (cyber-physical) variant-rich system. One particular concept that has been proposed to manage automotive-systems engineering are electrics/electronics platforms, but these are not well researched in the context of managing variant-rich systems. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of electrics/electronics platforms for managing variant-rich automotive systems throughout their whole life-cycle with their increasing share of software as well as of hardware-software interactions. For this purpose, we build on literature to elicit and compare concepts of electrics/electronics platforms with those of software and hardware platforms, and map these concepts to state-of-art practices employed at one automotive company. Based on these comparisons, we identify key challenges and research directions to move towards the practical adoption of electrics/electronics platforms in the automotive industry.
