Automotive service-oriented architecture (SOA) is designed to provide a framework for developers to create a modular, automotive software more quickly by using software and services from companies like GuardKnox (Fig. 1). I spoke with Jillian Goldberg, VP Marketing and Industrial Relations, about the implementation and implications of SOA.

1. The GuardKnox SOA Framework consists of a number of middleware components that ride above the operating system.

Figure 2 shows a different view of where the software resides. This allows the same software to target different hardware platforms, and makes it possible to provide additional functionality in future versions.

2. Automotive SOA allows systems to be reconfigured easily while maintaining proper communication, security, and safety.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
