AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture is world-wide the largest standardization project in the automotive industry. We are a Development Partner and an active contributor to the standard.

Tasks in the consortium:

• Document ownership for ECU resource template (AUTOSAR_TPS_ECUResourceTemplate)
• Implementation tasks in the ECU configuration template (AUTOSAR_RS_ECUConfiguration)
• Monthly meetings

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) increase the driver's security and comfort through monitoring of the environment and active engagement in certain driving situations. A great amount of technologies and interdisciplinary knowledge are required. We support our clients in the realization of functions and integration on different platforms.

With the REALTIME_RT Patch enabled, Linux is completely deterministic and is used in industrial facilities and machines for control tasks. Furthermore Linux provides a variety of open interfaces and libraries to develop and integrate complex applications.

Linux is everywhere: TED-Talk with the Linux Foundation (video)

Services:

• Platform basis: design and integration of OSADL-conform real-time linux systems
• Driver: development and modification of drivers
• Interfaces: network, bus systems, TCP/IP and I/O connections
• Application: development of POSIX-conform real-time applications

Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL) e.G.

We are a member of OSADL – the competence network for open source software in industrial applications.

Today's software projects require not only an expert level of knowledge in software achitectures, programming languages and interfaces but also a flexible approach to be able to react fast to changing requirements.

Wie utilize software development processes like Scrum, Kanban and V-Modell-XT.

Ticketsystem, Bugtracking and Documentation:

• Atlassian Jira, Bugzilla, Mantis Bug Tracker
• Atlassian Confluence, Trac

Continous Integration and Deployment:

• Atlassian Stash (Git, SVN)
• Atlassian Bamboo, Jenkins

Requirements Engineering

• Software Requirements Specification (SRS) according to IEEE 830
• IBM Rational DOORS

Depending on the requirements complexity and the platform we use different techniques, tools and programming languages to design software.

Design/Modeling of software architectures

• Enterprise Architect
• UML 2.4

Model-based function development

• Matlab/Simulink
• ETAS Ascet
• Generator Tools

Programming languages

• C, C++, C#, Java
• Perl, Ruby, Javascript

Frameworks and libraries

• Boost, Qt
• .NET, WPF

The internet has long since found its way into a variety of devices. As an example, printers, IP-cameras, fridges and facility monitoring systems are controllable through web interfaces. We develop gateways and graphical user interfaces to access embedded systems from the internet. Furthermore we offer the realization of entire enterprise portals and interfaces to backend systems.

Technologies and frameworks:

• Content management systems: TYPO3 CMS, Drupal, Wordpress
• Frameworks: TYPO3 Flow, Zend, Smarty, Rails
• Programming languages: PHP5, Javascript (jQuery), Ruby, Flash Actionscript
• Descriptive languages: HTML(5), CSS(3), LESS, SCSS, XML
• 3D visualisation: WebGL, three.js
• Server: Linux server and applications/services

Area of application:

• Configuration and access of embedded systems
• Development of web-based interactive applications
• Interfaces for backend systems
• Enterprise portals
