Master Thesis: Service Oriented Architecture for the Next Gen Electronic Vessel Control System

Job description

Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport solutions for the future? If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match. 

What you will do

Volvo Penta is developing the next generation of electronic control vessel system based on a software defined vehicle reference architecture common to the complete Volvo Group product offering.

To exploit the full potential of the new architecture which includes several domains for the on-board embedded applications (service oriented and real time) a complete refactoring of the application software is being investigated.

 

Thesis work objective:

·  Real time constraints
·  Safety criticality
·  Cyber security
·  Available capacity in the different domains
·  Communication protocols securing communication between ECUs and their capacity, inter-domain communication.
·  Flexibility, Scalability, Maintainability, Configurability, Reusability.
·  Identify which parts of the application shall run on the real time domain and which parts on the service-oriented domains.
·  Propose a service-oriented architecture that fulfils the wanted criteria, considering the constraints.
