AUTOSAR and SysML – A Natural Fit?

International audienceThis paper should give some ideas on how the UML 2 and the SysML can help defining the different AUTOSAR artifacts and later applying the specified AUTOSAR part to real implementations. The AUTOSAR definitions are currently being defined on top of the UML 2.0. In parallel, the OMG started in 2003 a Request for Proposal to define a UML-based visual modeling language for Systems Engineering. This SysML is also an addition to the UML 2.0, so comparing the aims and ideas from AUTOSAR and from SysML is an obvious idea. This paper will show that using the AUTOSAR concepts for automotive modeling and adding SysML concepts will lead to complete picture of the automotive domain
