The Software Crisis: Past, Present, and Emerging Challenges

In the late 1960s, the term "software crisis" emerged to describe the growing pains of the software industry. Projects routinely ran over budget, missed deadlines, and delivered unreliable systems. This crisis spurred the birth of modern software engineering, introducing structured programming, standardized methodologies, and tools to tame the chaos. However, while the industry has evolved … Continue reading The Software Crisis: Past, Present, and Emerging Challenges →

Is a Software Defined Vehicle an Illusion?

A Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) is primarily controlled by software, enabling real-time updates, customization, and advanced connectivity. While software updates can potentially enhance engine power and features, they are limited by the vehicle's hardware. Achieving an SDV requires advanced computing hardware, modular software design, connectivity infrastructure, shared hardware platforms, and robust data management and cloud integration. Challenges include cybersecurity risks, privacy concerns, hardware limitations, and regulatory compliance issues.

The Importance of Separation of Concerns in Software Architecture for Security and Safety

Separation of concerns (SoC) is a foundational principle in software architecture that advocates for dividing a system into distinct sections, each addressing a specific functionality or concern. This approach is particularly crucial in enhancing the security and safety of software systems. Here’s how SoC contributes to these critical aspects: Enhancing Security Through Separation of Concerns … Continue reading The Importance of Separation of Concerns in Software Architecture for Security and Safety →
