With ASCET-MD software module components can be specified both on the physical level with block diagrams, state machines and textually in the high-level languages ESDL or C.
The underlying object-based model architecture allows to flexibly combine model components specified with these different notations, and to build up models hierarchically. Once defined a model component can be employed in various projects with different implementations (quantization). This lossless reusability of model components increases both software quality and reliability and also the speed of development. Needless to say that ASCET also supports the development of AUTOSAR software components.
