This book reflects the shift in design paradigm in automobile industry. It presents future innovations, often referred as "automotive systems engineering". These cause fundamental innovations in the field of driver assistance systems and electro-mobility as well as fundamental changes in the architecture of the vehicles. New driving functionalities can only be realized if the software programs of multiple electronic control units work together correctly. This volume presents the new and innovative methods which are mandatory to master the complexity of the vehicle of the future.

Fahrerassistenzsysteme unterstA1/4tzen den Fahrer in seiner Fahraufgabe und entlasten ihn dadurch gezielt. Viele Experten erwarten, dass Fahrerassistenzsysteme zur Sicherheit des StraAenverkehrs wesentlich beitragen werden. Zentrale wissenschaftliche und industrielle Herausforderungen bestehen zur Zeit in der Erforschung und Entwicklung maschineller WahrnehmungsfAhigkeiten, die eine angemessene Erfassung der Umwelt und deren fahrergerechte Integration in geeignete Fahrfunktionen leisten. Dieser Band basiert auf ausgewAhlten VortrAgen eines Workshops in Walting (AltmA1/4hltal) und macht deren Inhalt in erweiterter Fassung zugAnglich. In bislang nicht vorliegender InterdisziplinaritAt diskutieren Experten aus Wissenschaft und Praxis unterschiedlichste AnsAtze aus vielfAltigen Bereichen wie der maschinellen Wahrnehmung, Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion, WissensreprAsentation, Funktionsentwicklung und Wirtschaftsethik. Aoeber die fachlich-technische Auseinandersetzung mit Fahrerassistenzsystemen hinaus wird damit auch ein Beitrag zum notwendigen Diskurs A1/4ber deren Auswirkung und gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz geleistet.

In the context of renewed global interest in the development of vocational skills, policy makers in many countries as well as representatives of technical organisations often hope to reform existing training systems by borrowing models and policies that seem to work elsewhere. One of these prominent models is that of 'National Qualifications Framework', the use of which now spans the entire globe. On a much smaller scale, the 'Dual Model' of vocational training - a systematic combination of school and workplace-based learning that is common in a number of countries in Western Europe - has also gained attention in international cooperation. Bringing together contributions from authors involved in both the theory and practice of vocational skills training development, this volume analyses the challenges that are tied to the transfer of these two dominant models in the context of international cooperation, sheds light on how they are being implemented, and discusses alternatives to the standard approaches to policy transfer.
