The research focuses on developing LLM and LLM-agent systems for automotive software, including code generation, architecture design, test generation and compliance validation, and domain-specific language development, enabling the next generation of automotive software architecture.

Project description

This project will leverage LLMs and LLM agents to automate and streamline the development, refactoring, generation, and testing of automotive software. By utilizing LLMs for tasks such as parsing, program synthesis, and fuzzing, the approach reduces the need for extensive manual engineering of automation tools. This enables faster iteration, improves clarity, and manages the complexity of integrating diverse software components in large-scale automotive projects.
