  Abstract ▼

  Information-computational systems play a key role in processing and analyzing large amounts of data, ensuring the efficient functioning of production, provision, as well as receipt of various digital goods and services. In the conditions of intellectualization and increasing diversity of functional requirements imposed on information systems, there is a need to develop new approaches for their construction and implementation. The paper considers the main features of the proposed agent-modular approach, which involves the construction of flexible and scalable information-computational systems capable of functioning in a distributed environment. The agent-modular approach is a methodological approach to the organization of information-computational systems based on the integration of system analysis methods, as well as agent and modular principle's of building various systems. The aim of the paper is to investigate theoretical and practical aspects of the application of the proposed agent-modular approach in building an information system, to analyze its advantages over other common approaches (object, component, service), and to present examples of its successful use. To achieve the set goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: – to research the theoretical foundations and identify the specific features of practical application of the proposed agent-modular approach; – to analyze the differences and describe the advantages of the proposed approach in its comparison with other approaches; – to present an example of building an information-computational system using the proposed approach. The following general scientific methods were used in the research process: decomposition, analysis, synthesis, comparison, description, formalization, structurization, modeling, design, as well as the basic principles of system, modular and agent-based approaches. Computers, and computing software tools were used as research materials. As a result of the study, the main theoretical and practical aspects of the proposed approach were considered. The agent-modular approach can be used to build various information systems at the stages related to their modeling and design. The proposed approach allows describing the structure, functioning, and interaction of various components of information-computational systems.

  Abstract ▼

  The introduction to the mass market of vehicles with an ADAS 3+ level of automation is expected
  in the early 2020s. Currently, the vast majority of automakers conduct research in this
  field, a fairly large number of prototypes, pre-production and production systems have already
  been demonstrated. ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) are complex hardware & software
  systems, the feature of which is that the core hardware platform remains unchanged for one or
  even several generations of vehicles (5–7 years). At the same time, the system should be able to
  transform and evolve to correct errors and expand functionality, especially due to active development
  of sensory peripheral systems and software algorithms. The GQM methodology and its modifications
  are used to support the development process of complex systems and evaluate them.
  However, these methodologies are limited exclusively to software products. Also, authors of these
  methodologies are not addressing explicitly the issues of applying the GQM methodology for analyzing
  and tracking the process of evolution of complex technical systems. This paper presents HGQM
  (Hardware GQM) methodology for controllable evolution of complex automotive hardware
  & software systems. The H-GQM methodology is based on GQM and is aimed at hardwaresoftware
  systems with a monolithic hardware core, a modifiable software core and atomic peripherals.
  Entity harmonization process is described to prove the applicability of the GQM for software-
  and-hardware systems analysis. S.M.A.R.T.E.S.T goal-setting concept is proposed for choice
  of evolutionary goals. This concept is based on S.M.A.R.T. criteria for the setting objectives of
  business processes and extended with harmonization and evolvability restrictions. The formulation
  of the H-GQM plan framework is provided using ADAS as an example. Within the framework of
  the proposed methodology, an ADAS-specific scalable target template has been formed.
