Relation to the Autosar standard

"Autosar has focused on location independence, interface standardization, and code portability, but not on software quality (timings and dependability)." IEEE Computer, October 2007.

The lack of Timing Model in Autosar seriously diminishes the possibility to exchange Autosar components between projects and companies.

The design of Rubus CM has been influenced by Autosar and can be seen as a subset of the Autosar Component Model, with support on software quality.

In the Rubus CM the design of the entire software of a target is supported including Basic Software modules. This objective is a prerequisite of analysability.
