High Integration Characterizes the E/E Architectures of Tomorrow

The top trends of digitization, electrification, autonomous driving and connectivity are decisively shaping the E/E architectures in tomorrow's automobiles. The domain-oriented E/E architectures that still predominate lead to functional interdependencies that are almost impossible to manage. According to Dipl.-Ing. Kai Lars Barbehön (Vice President Central Control Units, Wire Harness, Power Supply of the BMW Group, Munich), one of the keynote speakers at the International VDI Congress ELIV 2023, the solutions for a holistic E/E architecture approach are obvious: The high integration of former domain computers in powerful integration platforms is just as much a part of this as zonal wiring system architectures.

Open Source Opens the Space for Innovation

Michael Plagge is Vice President Ecosystem Development at the Eclipse Foundation. He is responsible for the maintenance and growth of the Eclipse ecosystem. At the International VDI Congress ELIV, he will report on the Foundation's current projects and take part in a panel discussion on the topic of open source. In the run-up to the event, he answers our questions.
