At this year’s AUTOSAR Open Conference in Bruges, SystemWeaver will present a detailed, real-world design case for our AUTOSAR-compliant Immobilizer Manager (IMMO). The session focuses on the technical decisions, architectural flows, and compliance mechanisms used in developing an embedded system that meets the demands of functional safety, cybersecurity, and ASPICE process maturity within a modern SDV context.

As automotive software grows more complex, aligning development practices with international standards is essential. In this session, we will demonstrate how to manage this complexity with a system-level approach that supports both AUTOSAR platforms.

Session Highlights

1. System and Software Architecture for an AUTOSAR IMMO ECU
We will walk through the structure and decomposition of a fully featured Immobilizer Manager, including its integration with key modules such as key status monitoring, clamp control, steering lock, and central locking systems. The architecture enables secure communication with other ECUs and HMI components through standardized AUTOSAR services.

2. Compliance Integration at the Design Level
The session outlines how ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, and ASPICE requirements influence system design. We will show how safety goals, threat and hazard assessments, and diagnostic requirements are embedded into the system model early in the process to ensure compliance throughout the lifecycle.

3. Best Practices for Multi-Domain Engineering
Attendees will gain insights into managing data from multiple engineering domains, maintaining consistency across abstraction levels, and ensuring traceability between requirements, design, verification, and validation.

4. Addressing Real-World Workflow Challenges
We will discuss common industry challenges such as disconnected toolchains, legacy system integration, change management, and the overhead of documentation. The session will highlight practical approaches taken in OEM projects to improve collaboration and reduce duplication.

5. Data-Driven Design for SDV Architectures
In the SDV era, separating software development from hardware constraints is critical. We will present how centralized system modeling enables flexible feature development, version control, and collaboration across teams, while supporting continuous safety and security assurance.

Who Should Attend
This session is ideal for system engineers, ECU architects, compliance leads, and anyone responsible for aligning AUTOSAR-based development with modern safety, security, and lifecycle requirements.

White Paper: Subsystems, Meta-Models and Architecture
Download this White Paper as a PDF Executive summary The meta-model supports the architecture without defining it. Clear, cohesive subsystems with explicit interfaces are what make model-based systems engineering usable at scale. This white paper distills ten practical insights drawn directly from SystemWeaver experts and practitioners, both at SystemWeaver and customers to SystemWeaver. [...]
5 Realities of AI in Modern Cybersecurity
Every vendor in security claims AI changes everything. Ask the engineers actually building these systems and a different story comes up: a context gap. The AI returns a threat analysis that reads well and sounds confident but has little connection to the product. That is where a recent conversation with Anders Hallgren and Marcus [...]
Strong engagement at the GAIA workshop: Trustworthy AI in Systems Engineering – Keeping Control and Traceability
The central question during this workshop was one that matters more as engineering complexity grows: "How does AI fit into systems engineering without eroding control, traceability, or engineering accountability?" The answer is not to add AI as a black-box layer on top of engineering work. It is to ground AI in structured engineering context, [...]
