Abstract

In this paper we discuss a formal approach to the design and analysis of automotive systems, from a human-machine interaction (HMI) point of view. Specifically, we detail the behavior of a generic climate control system, present a statecharts model of this system, and discuss aspects of user interaction analysis. Several general principles for the design of climate control systems are illustrated and discussed. The topic of design patterns, in the context of a formal description of user interaction, is introduced, and two design patterns are illustrated and discussed.
