Figure 7.1: Technical Architecture of Communication Management In the context of Communication Management, the following types of interfaces are defined: • Public Application Interface: Part of the Adaptive AUTOSAR API and specified in the SWS. This is the standardized ara::com API. • Functional Cluster Interactions: Interaction between functional clusters. Not normative, intended to make specification more readable and to support integration of SW into demonstrator. (dotted arrow in 7.1) And also interactions between elements within a functional cluster. Not used in specifications, so it is a non-standardized interface. Used for communication inside Communication Management software (grey arrow in 7.1) Please note, that Language Binding and Communication Binding depend on a specific configuration by the integrator, but they need to be deployed within the application binary . This results in the fact that the serialization of the Communication Binding will run in the execution context of the Adaptive Application. For the design of ARA API the following constraints apply: • Support the independence of application software components • Use of Service-oriented communication without dependency on a specific communication protocol
