This paper describes an advanced modeling facility for system and software design that is being constructed at the Ford Research and Innovation Center. This facility is intended to address the growing complexity of automotive embedded software and the resulting issues for vehicle development. Software complexity is expected to grow at a significantly higher rate in the near future as vehicle systems begin to interact with external software based systems to provide significant new capabilities in both the infotainment and the safety areas. Increased complexity will require a broader range of modeling capabilities than just functional/behavioral modeling. Our recent experience with the latter has shown substantial benefits for the product development process, and we expect that the more comprehensive modeling process described here will bring even greater benefits.
