Task: Merge Solution_INTEG into Solution_EXIST considering usage of common resources
This task creates a common model from Solution [To integrate] and Solution [Existing].
Disciplines: Integrate reusable component tasks
Relationships
Main Description

When performing the task Create Solution, the components of Solution_EXIST and Solution_INTEG have to be brought together to become Solution_BOTH. From the functional perspective, the solutions still may co-exist in the resulting model as long as no functional synergy is detected. This also implies that both solution topologies including inter-component communication may remain unchanged. However, it will often be a design goal to search for synergies in order to provide cost-efficient solutions. Therefore, reuse of input/output ports and network messages is advised, e.g. in case both solutions use the same sensor signal, or a required signal is already available on another ECU.
