Designing and Implementing Events and Interfaces
The interplay of events and interfaces constitutes the backbone of system communications and synchronization. In this chapter, we intend to dive deeper into how software components (SWCs) envelop diverse functions within the building blocks of automotive software, and employ events and interfaces to establish communication channels. Building on the foundation discussed in Chapter 4, we will explore the essential conduits of communication within SWCs: ports, interfaces, and events. We will unravel how they function and look at their various types, as well as their role in ensuring seamless data flow, providing a comprehensive insight into their roles and functionalities. Through this, you will gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that enable efficient and reliable communication in software systems.
We will be covering the following main topics:
- Introducing the communication model
- Understanding events and interfaces...
