Distributed Computing systems consist of several processors that interact and cooperate with each other by message passing. These distributed systems provide many attractive features such as fault tolerance, resource sharing, high reliability and high throughput. These features make distributed systems good candidates for many real time applications such as aircraft, space crafts and automotive control. Car Industry is striving to provide reliable and cost effective Computing systems for their automobiles. As the number of processors increases in a vehicle, the demand increases to provide a reliable Computing system for the automotive. Therefore, it is important to develop specialized distributed Computing systems for this type of applications taking into consideration reliability as well as cost of the system. In this paper, a distributed Computing system architecture has been proposed for automotive applications.
