With the shift toward software-defined vehicles, traditional embedded software timing approaches are being re-evaluated to meet new demands in flexibility and scalability. But what about real-time performance? This talk explores how timing constraints and strategies evolve in the context of modern SDV architectures. Attendees will gain insight into the architectural implications for timing, real-time guarantees, and methods to ensure they are kept. The insights are driven by applied research in digital technology and human capabilities as well as real world project observations.

Join this session and learn more about:

• Why it can be challenging to always feed the compute monster
• How timing requirements change when transitioning from classic ECUs to service-oriented SDV architectures
• Best practices for ensuring real-time performance and determinism in embedded systems with distributed software components

• What are the most critical timing challenges when shifting to a service-oriented SDV architecture?
• How do over-the-air updates and dynamic feature deployment affect timing guarantees?
• Can real-time behavior be maintained in virtualized or containerized automotive environments?
• What role do standards play in defining and enforcing timing and resource constraints?
• How can we effectively monitor and validate timing behavior during both development and runtime?

After the afternoon break and five interactive discussion rounds, the moderators will present a short summary of each world café in front of the audience to showcase the key takeaways.

All results, pictures, and key takeaways of the World Cafés will be photographed after the event and made available to our event app “hubs101.”
