ELECTRONICS
SESSIONS
executable specification that lets them iterate quickly through
design concepts and simulations without needing to build physical
prototypes. Later, they can use these executable specifications as
the basis for real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing,
automatic code generation and increasing to perform verification
early in the process. Advanced safety technologies, which help
drivers avoid accidents and protect occupants when there are
accidents, are increasingly being adopted in the automotive
industry. The challenge in the development of these technologies
is to balance the driver¿s sense of control with the oversight from
the safety system. This session will focus on Advanced Safety
technologies that exist which could make driving both a safer and
pleasurable experience. In addition, the session will explorer how to
identify technologies that are able to reduce the severity of crashes
when they occur or mitigate injuries in crashes that would have
otherwise been fatal as well as to explore the safety and driving
performance benefits of these systems where possible. Lastly, the
session will also explore how mission critical algorithms and the
embedded systems necessary to implement active safety systems
are designed and verified for real world applications.

Distributed Embedded Systems Engrg
(Part 3 of 3)
This technical session concentrates on the systems engineering
aspects of vehicle electronic systems that are distributed using
multiple vehicle networks and partitioned across a variety of
different electronic modules. The session covers both current and
future related technologies and targets technical, business, and
legal issues.Additional topics include current and future vehicle
electronic systems architectures, distributed embedded systems
behavior, multiple vehicle networking, distributed in-vehicle
diagnostic systems, smart sensor/actuator sub-systems, and
systems issues surrounding x-by-wire.

Military Vehicle: Advanced Propulsion
System Technology (Part 1 of 2)
This session presents modeling and simulation (M&S) technology
as developed for and applied to military ground vehicles. It is
limited in scope to vehicle systems and/or subsystems which
are applicable to both an automotive and military domain
(propulsion, suspension, steering, navigation, semi-autonomy,
on-board diagnostics/prognostics, driving functions, vehicle
networks, electrical power, etc). The M&S may be targeted
to various application domains such as vehicle analysis,
performance, durability/reliability, mobility, ride, vibration and power
management.

Safety-Critical Systems (Part 3 of 4)
The submissions for this session describe the application of
standards and norms relevant to safety-critical automotive
development processes, explain new or enhanced methods for
safety-critical software or system design processes, or are about
the safety aspects of the design, implementation, and validation
of specific safety-related systems and functions in the car. The
focus of the session lies on presentations about software and
system hazard analysis, construction of safety-relevant systems
and software, methods for error detection, and integration of safety
requirements in the design of communication networks. Further
topics covered are on simulation and prototyping experiences of

safety-critical functions such as chassis control, brake-by-wire,
steer-by-wire and active safety systems. Additional presentations
are on the relation of standards for the development of safetycritical
systems/software such as IEC61508 to existing and
upcoming development processes in the automotive industry.

Simulation and Modeling Mechatronics
(Part 1 of 2)
Historically, simulation and modeling efforts have typically
been domain specific, independently modeling the behavior of
electronic, electrical, or mechanical subsystems. As the complexity
of these subsystems and their inter-domain interactions increase,
it is imperative that the inter-domain behaviors and effects are
taken into account when modeling and simulating the resulting
Mechatronic system.

Software/Hardware Systems
This session presents the state of the art technology in software
and hardware that can be implemented in various machines
including vehicles to improve, facilitate functionality and usability.

Vehicle Information and Communication
Security
The demand for remote software upload, remote diagnostic,
active collision avoidance, real-time traffic guidance, accessing
road side information and many other features will require future
intelligent vehicles to communicate securely with other vehicles as
well as with the road-side infrastructure. This session deals with
papers that cover the design or analysis of hardware, software,
protocol, algorithm, and other features related to Secure In-
Vehicle Communication, Secure Inter-Vehicle Communication,
Secure Vehicle to Infrastructure Communication, Protection of
Location and Other Privacy for Vehicles, Protection of Proprietary
Information of Vehicles, Protection of Vehicles, ECUs from Various
Security Attacks and Protection of Vehicles, Internal Buses from
Tampering and Information Injection Attacks.

Vehicle Sensors and Actuators (Part 1 of 3)
Modern automotive customers need safer vehicles with little or
no impact to the environment. This purpose of this session is to
present the latest research and development on novel sensors,
actuators, and circuits that are critical to deliver the function of
today¿s complex automotive systems.
