This master thesis is a portion of the DySCAS project and work is performed at Enea AB. DySCAS (Dynamically Self-Configuring Automotive Systems) is a research project funded by the European

This thesis concentrates on future vehicle electronic systems. During a life cycle of the car vehicle manufacturers desire to upgrade or add new functions into the vehicle electronic systems, this is not possible with the static-runtime environment that employed into today’s car.

To tackle this difficult problem many technologies were gathered and a dynamically self-configuring automotive system was introduced by combining technologies like self-managing, service-based and middleware.

The obtained results fulfilled most of DySCAS requirements. However, the system has a few limitations and these are caused by the immature of distributed reconfigurable embedded systems in the market.
