I. Introduction
Nowadays, the automotive industry faces the challenge to manage the electrics and electronics E/E-architecture's complexity [3] while in parallel more functionality (we call each considered software-implemented function “system function” herein) is added within a vehicle. A recent study [2] shows that the E/E architecture faces the challenge of raising demand for vehicle automation up to fully autonomous functionality (driving, parking). Future vehicles will be also able to cooperate (Car2Car) in order to perform many functions in a more effective and efficient way. Nowadays, the customer is used to the possibility of easy personalization and extensibility of electronic systems. The infotainment-domain has already demonstrated these capabilities and it drives a similar expectation now within the automotive domain. Thereby, the end-customer does not care about qualities such as dependability, since those are expected to be ensured by default.
