We introduce a framework that aims at automating significant parts of the design flow in a typical scenario for embedded application development in the automotive domain. Given a specification model of a new automotive feature captured in Matlab-Simulink, the framework allocates new functions onto the devices of the hardware architecture such as ECUs and buses considering already deployed functions and the distributed nature of embedded systems used in the automotive industry. The framework is motivated by the iterative design process in industrial practice and subdivided into several steps. In the task creation process a balanced task structure is derived automatically from the specification model. Automatic code generation and execution time analysis for each task demands a semantics- preserving restructuring process of the Matlab-Simulink model.
