Service-Based Development of Context-Aware Automotive Telematics Systems

Automotive software has increasingly become context-aware and adaptive to deal with dynamically changing environments. This paper presents our novel service-based approach to support the structural and behavioral adaptation of automotive telematics. We adopt services to (1) provide physical context facts and (2) facilitate context-aware interactions between entities of automotive telematics systems. In this paper, we introduce a layered architecture of our approach and demonstrate how the approach is applied to develop context-aware automotive telematics systems that support V2X interactions. The empirical evaluations show that our service-based approach is scalable to supporting run-time adaptation of automotive telematics.
