The first presentation will explain how BMW migrates to AUTOSAR Basic Software in its current and upcoming product lines.  This includes also common functionality that is already today realised as AUTOSAR compliant extensions to the basic software.  Further on, BMW's strategy on providing application software as ready-to-integrate AUTOSAR software components is described. 

The second presentation will concentrate on the influence of the AUTOSAR methodology on the tools used for the development of automotive SW accordingly to AUTOSAR.  To support the goal of AUTOSAR to exchange models between OEMs and suppliers, open source software gets of increasing interest.  On the basis of an open tool platform "ARTOP" the application of the methodology will be shown." 

The development of complex control unit needs mature and reliable basic software as well as integration support in particular in early phases of the project.  In its presentation Elektrobit Automotive will focus on new AUTOSAR basic software features like multi core and functional safety.  It will be shown how integration and validation will be enhanced by diagnostic logging and tracing functionalities."
