Model-based System Development : Feature-based System Design Approach

Feature-based System Design Approach

Driven by the need to harmonize and standardize body electronic design cross-platform, many car manufacturers follow a feature-based approach. In this approach, functional requirements are mapped to a special class of re-usable objects called features. The integrated ensemble of respective feature models describes the overall system functionality and forms the basis for the subsequent bottom-up design process.

In the following paragraphs, the feature-based design process is outlined in detail, especially with respect to a seamless transition to the software design using in MicroC.
