  ABSTRACT = {Automotive software has become an important factor in the
  development of modern and innovative high-end vehicles. More and more
  functions can only be realized by the cooperation of different control
  devices. In addition, not only a single product but a number of basic
  configurations and a large number of optional functions for each new
  type series have to be addressed by the software. While product lines
  are
  a promising approach to address known variability within a car series,
  the reuse of functions across type series is not feasible with the
  current
  proposals. In this paper, a service-oriented approach is sketched which
  exploits that functions in automotive systems only have to be
  recombined
  in a restricted manner in order to enable reuse across car series.
  Components are used as basic units which provide localized basis
  functionality, patterns represent reusable assets which capture the
  interaction
  and protocols in between several roles, and services capture complex
  reusable functionality which requires the interaction of multiple
  units. It
  is sketched how all phases of the development process can benefit from
  a
  service-oriented approach and that advanced synthesis techniques can be
  employed to reuse the components, patterns and services and compose
  them with only minimal manual efforts.}
