Abstract :
Electronic control units (ECU) play a more and more important role in the development of road vehicles. Forecasts lead up to 25% of the total vehicle value in 2000. The increasing complexity and stringent quality and cost requirements mandate tremendous improvements in the specification and design process. This paper presents the cooperative activities at Daimler-Benz research and Mercedes-Benz development departments to install an optimized design process
