PREFACE After a history of more than 100 years@ the automobile as a product continues to evolve at a very fast pace. Since the early 1970s@ its evolution has strongly been influenced by a steady increase in onboard electronic systems and software in the vehicle??a trend that continues unabated. As a consequence of this trend@ vehicle development@ production@ and service are changing in fundamental ways. Using software to implement functions in the vehicle provides developers with new degrees of freedom and solutions to existing conflicts of objectives. The resulting complexity can be managed only by using processes@ methods@ and tools that are appropriate for vehicle-specific applications. In the last few years@ various methods and standards have been devised for the development of software for in-vehicle electronic systems. These methods and standards are best described by the collective term automotive software engineering.
