It provides a comprehensive approach for defining automotive electronic systems through an information model that captures engineering information in a standardized form. Aspects covered include vehicle features, requirements, analysis functions, software and hardware components and communication. The representation of the system's implementation is not defined in EAST-ADL itself but by AUTOSAR. However, traceability is supported from EAST-ADL's lower abstraction levels to the implementation level elements in AUTOSAR. In this article we describe EAST-ADL in detail, show how it relates to AUTOSAR as well as other significant automotive standards and present recent research work on using and advancing EAST-ADL, the functional safety standard ISO 26262, heterogeneous multi / many core architectures, security and for multi-objective optimization. %G English %2 https://cea.hal.science/cea-01810034/document %2 https://cea.hal.science/cea-01810034/file/EAST-ADL_IJSDA_2016_final.pdf %L cea-01810034 %U https://cea.hal.science/cea-01810034 %~ CEA %~ DRT %~ CEA-UPSAY %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ CEA-UPSAY-SACLAY %~ LIST %~ GS-ENGINEERING %~ GS-COMPUTER-SCIENCE
