VehicleFORGE: A Cloud-Based Infrastructure for Collaborative Model-Based Design

Recent increases in industrial adoption of Model-Based Engi- neering has created demand for more advanced tools, environments, and infrastructures. As a response to the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's (DARPA) initiative in the Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) pro- gram, we have designed and built VechicleFORGE, a collaborative en- vironment tightly integrated with the AVM design tools. This paper describes VehicleFORGE concepts and services facilitated by the cloud computing foundation of the infrastructure.
