EVoCS ProjectEvolutionary Validation of Complex Systems Status: Current 2006-2010
EVoCS ProjectEvolutionary Validation of Complex Systems Complex Systems of Systems • A System of Systems (SoS) is composed of parts which: • have individual goals and a level of autonomy • are linked to achieve a higher level purpose or to share resources e.g. information, interfaces etc. • As SoS become more complex it becomes harder: • to predict behaviour (Emergent properties) • to verify complete SoS or sub-systems in isolation Project Objectives • To maximise confidence in the design and implementation of complex automotive electrical systems through: • Innovative techniques for the validation of the design at a System of Systems level • A platform for the validation of the implementation at a Systems of Systems level Project Partners Project Scope • For further information contact: • ross.mcmurran@warwick.ac.uk With funding from

Self Healing Vehicle Project Status: Submission to WIMRC Board June 07 2008 – 2010 Partner interest sought
Self Healing VehicleBackground • Increasing complexity and criticality of applications • Despite improvements in validation techniques, faults will still get to market, • Electronics & software will fail. • Human-assisted monitoring, maintenance, and intervention will become prohibitively costly, unacceptably slow, and sometimes ineffective. • An intelligent vehicle needs to play a more proactive role in fault management
What is a Self Healing Vehicle? • “A vehicle with the ability to: • autonomously predict or detect and diagnose failure conditions, • confirm any given diagnosis, • and perform appropriate corrective intervention(s), • including the use of telematics to interact with external service providers and infrastructures.”
