Automotive Ethernet Applications Using Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP: Service Discovery

This paper presents a simulated distributed embedded system consisting of two Automotive Ethernet applications based on the SOME/IP-SD (Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP Service Discovery) concept: angular position control of a DC motor actuator for an automobile's trunk lid and interior lights control based on the vehicle's doors state. The paper also proposes a different in-vehicle E/E (Electric and Electronic) architecture which contains only the scalable Ethernet network. For this reason, the paper motivates the need for Ethernet in Automotive and makes a comparison to conventional busses.
