A network architecture for updating control units in a remote network such as in a vehicle comprises an administration module, a verification module and an agent module. The administration module formulates a policy for governing the update of control units based on context information about the control units provided to the administration module. In formulating the policy, the administration unit takes account of compatibility between the control units with regard to versions of the update so that the update can succeed. Or, if the update fails in whole or part, a stable state of the remote network can nevertheless still be obtained, since the administration module may provide error handling procedures for the agent module when errors are encountered during update.
An administration module for a server, comprising:
An agent module for a remote network in a vehicle, comprising
A method for updating controllers in a network of a vehicle, the method comprising:
A method of handling errors in an update procedure of controllers in a remote network of a vehicle, comprising
