Abstract: A method for modeling the surroundings of an automated vehicle in which environment information is continuously received from currently available information sources. Each information source provides pieces of environment information. A formal assumption and a formal guarantee is associated with each piece of environment information in such a way that it is guaranteed, if the formal assumption associated with the respective piece of environment information is fulfilled, that the piece of environment information fulfills the formal guarantee associated with it. Each information source provides the associated formal assumptions and formal guarantees for the pieces of environment information it supplies. A piece of environment information is used for calculating the world model at a given point in time only if the formal assumption associated with this piece of environment information is fulfilled at this point in time.

Abstract: A server includes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) partitioned into a set of partial reconfiguration (PR) slots and a memory that supports a set of logical buffers. A deterministic application request module (DARM) receives application requests to allocate the set of reconfiguration slots to one or more tenants and the one or more tenants configure the allocated reconfiguration slot to perform tasks. The DARM stores data associated with the application request in a first logical buffer from the set of logical buffers. A reconfiguration slot scheduling (RSS) module identifies a first reconfiguration slot from the set of reconfiguration slots and associates the first reconfiguration slot with the first logical buffer. A reconfiguration slot initialization (RSI) module reconfigures the first reconfiguration slot to perform the tasks based on the data stored in the first logical buffer.
