Abstract:
We develop an Automotive Reaction System (ARS) framework to support cars by capabilities to react to
various situations. With ARS, the states and actions of a car are designed as objects of a high level objectoriented
language, called ARS-language. ARS permits also to design the reactions of a car to various
situations by an ARS-specification consisting of rules “condition->action”. The ARS-objects and ARSspecification
are implemented in a car to provide her with capabilities to function and react online. ARS
permits also to model certain actions of a car at a high abstraction level by an ARS-model consisting of
rules “condition->operation”. With ARS, we are confronted to conflicts (or feature interactions) which
denote situations where an ARS-specification implies simultaneous executions of incompatible actions. We
propose an approach to detect and resolve feature interactions.
