The primary foundational paper for the (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) standard is:
: H. Heinecke, K. Schnelle, H. Fennel, J. Bortolazzi, L. P. Lundh, J. Leflour, J. L. Maté, K. Nishikawa, and T. Scharnhorst
: Originally published in October 2004 (often cited from the SAE Convergence conference). Core Technical Concepts
: Shared standards reduce development time and long-term maintenance costs for automotive manufacturers and suppliers . AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture)
The paper argues that this standardized framework is essential for intelligent mobility by providing:
: Standardizes the steps for developing a system, from the initial functional description to the generation of executable code for an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) . Key Benefits Identified
: Functions can be easily added or scaled across different vehicle models.
