Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) provide a flexible platform for advanced automotive software applications. We present a research platform for fast prototyping of platform software and applications. The hardware is built around a RC car. Several sensors and actuators are connected over microcontrollers that can be accessed from higher-level ECUs over bus connections. User applications are executed on 4 Linux-based ECUs which communicate over a multi-hop Ethernet network. All communication of applications is realized over SOME-IP, an automotive middleware layer that is based on the SOA principle. The development framework generates code skeletons for user tasks, and all required management and configuration code of the underlying SOA framework, based on a user specified application model. It is then automatically transferred and compiled on the respective ECUs. We show the usability of the platform by a remote-operation scenario. A MODULAR RECONFIGURABLE DIGITAL MICROFLUIDICS PLATFORM Authors: Georgi Tanev1, Winnie Svendsen2 and Jan Madsen 3 1Technical University of Denmark, DK; 2DTU Bioengineering, DK; 3DTU Compute, DK Timeslots: Abstract: Digital microfluidics is a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology that allows for manipulation of a small amount of liquids on a chip-scaled device patterned with individually addressable electrodes. Microliter sized droplets can be programmatically dispensed, moved, mixed, react, split and stored thus implementing sample preparation protocols. Combining digital microfluidics with miniaturized analytical methods allows biomedical lab assays to be implemented on a LOC device that provides full sample-to-answer functionality. The growing complexity and integration of the LOC devices impose the need of software tools and hardware instruments to design, simulate, program and operate the broad range of LOC instrumentation needs. To address this matter, we present a modular reconfigurable microfluidics instrumentation platform (shown in Figure 1) capable of evolving to match the instrumentation needs of a specific LOC. The prototype shown in Figure 2 serves the purpose to demonstrate the platform.
