    • Discussion with Stephen/Renesas about this point. 
  • Stephen: There is a dataset that exists from previous demos.  (Values and timestamps) that could be used as data (after aligning it to VSS standards)
  • Stephen (sharing screen): Many values look like Snapshots ( according to this definition), i.e. several signals measured the same time.
    • Gunnar:  Yeah, the snapshot format suggests to only store the timestamp once, if it is measured at the same time. 
    • Gunnar; Note "same time"/simultaneous might include a short time interval since the meaning of simultaneous is a bit sketchy in a discrete system.
  • Tom: You can also reduce size of time stamps by transferring a delta-time compared to some reference.  
  • Gunnar: Good point, worthy of adding a note to Data serialization / value formats page.

  • A bit of progress on AVRO encoding.
  • (Repeated info), ongoing work on Android VSS-to-Android properties
    • The goal is to create something like this:  aasig-vhal-demo/tree/main/src repository ← this should already compile in AOSP (HAL implementation), but that example has a fixed set of signals.  Instead it shall be possible to code-generation from an arbitrary list of VSS signals
    • Here is a planning/background page named VSS to AOSP translation - WBS
    • The code generator implementation will be a kind of combination of VSS-tools (to read VSS) and vsc-tools (that shows how to use Jinja2 templates for generation).  The tools will need to consume also a "VSS layer" (deployment model) that describes how VSS signals are mapped to their respective Android counterparts. 
      Example of such mapping is on VSS to AOSP translation - WBS

For values that are defined in model (default, or min/max limits), shall "0" be valid if the signal datatype is float, or shall we require it to be "0.0"?  Discussion on 

Structured datatypes support?   Major discussion opened, it is a fairly major change if included.  And of course discuss syntax in that case.

Extensible (new) datatypes and units, no progress yet.

vss-tools:  "vspec2yaml" proposal.  vspec is already yaml, but this expands all instances and flattens into a single output file, and includes uuid values.   Not yet accepted, maybe rename tool since vspec is basically yaml already.

Feedback on first public working draft:
  • Minor bug - all messages to provide timestamp uniformly
  • Bandwidth usage due to access token sent with every request.  Discussing if the token could be used like a session, for example by sending only the signature as a reference to a token that had already been authenticated.  Traditional session-cookie possibly going out of style in the future?

Minutes/Agenda

  • New participant: Francisco Uribe.  Quick roll-call/introduction.
  • Project updates, see table.
  • (VSS input)
    • Alexander: Is OBD branch really required?  Is it useful to model the data according to the channel where it is distributed.  (For example vehicle speed could be fetched on OBD, but also in other contexts)
    • Gunnar: Understood and it is a known issue, but this is not only about the channel of distribution but also of the signal definition.  Sometimes an existing defacto list of data already exists, and occasionally it might be useful to reproduce it without changing it so that people recognize the signals they are used to.  We are aware there are certain cases where this would lead to the same signal value being in more than one place, so it's a continuous discussion.  If the majority thinks the OBD branch should not be there, then it can be changed.  For every case, bring the discussion to the specific VSS call on Tuesdays.
  • Update/plans on upcoming open source code for tools, from BMW:
  • Alexander D (BMW):  We have for a while explored how to distribute VSS data in our platforms.  MQTT looked at before but we saw benefits with GraphQL.  Flexible queries!  GraphQL "invented" shortly after VISS v1?   Good community.  Implementations exist.   Possibility to tie signal sources in the system (SOME/IP services, REST services, CAN? ... etc.) to a single signal schema.  The schema is hierarchical, following VSS model (but possibly including more signals?)  Created python tools that generate the GraphQL schema from VSS.  There are some local extensions we have made (coming in second wave of tool release).
    • Mapping using a VSS-layer type (deployment model) which explains how to fetch the values from the system via an interface that is described using Franca IDL.
    • With this as input the tools generate code (e.g. resolvers for the GraphQL server)
    • Plan: Define a "ugly" Franca IDL interface and show examples of VSS-signal mappings on it.  The purpose is to include some "misuse" of Franca, or put another way, challenges in mapping VSS to "difficult" existing services.
    • First (partial) release of code fairly soon.
  • Gunnar: First tests on serialization using AVRO.  See branch.  Will investigate python and C++ implementations first.
  • Work started on VSS→Android property C++ binding code.  Just investigating VSS-generators and VSC/Jinja2 generation methods so far.
  • AMM planning → CVII topics

  • Dropped travis file because GitHub actions cover all now
  • Seat signals were sensors, now actuators

  • VSS meeting group continues discussion of extensible datatypes and units (each separately).  At the moment it's basically a fixed list.
    - Which datatypes and units are predefined as part of the standard VSS model?
    - Are these also used in the current standard catalog?  Are there "standard" types that are not used at all?
    - Shall the model allow extension with new datatypes?  ... and/or with new units?
    - If it shall, what is the method of extension?  Shall the datatypes and units be defined in the program source code or read in from a configuration file.

    Progress is being made on these questions but all (many) stakeholders need to have time to weigh in.

  • VSC and tools
    • → synergy opportunities with gRPC support in KUKSA.VAL?
    • Let's discuss "decisions" taken during this development → how to find consistency with the VSC-related work (which intends to integrate gRPC and other technologies as needed).
  • Awareness:  CVII-TS: Binary encoding for VSS-based data transfer
    • → synergy opportunities with gRPC impl. also here?
    • Artem: We have seen some problems with binary encodings, so JSON mostly for now, which is adequate for a lot of the needs at the moment.  We see potential need (for binary efficient encoding) however.
    • Sebastian:  For gRPC we replace some of the JSON protocol parts of course, but data encoding is often still using strings for simplicity at the moment.
    • Gunnar: OK, I conclude this is still important and interesting to together define one or two canonical binary encodings for VSS.
  • Updates/discussion on other priority-list projects:  
    • VISS v2 server Planning / Work Breakdown page
    • Needs a proper "need"/request for resource allocation.  Discussion on if current development frameworks (using python, NodeJS and other) are acceptable in in-vehicle embedded space or if this need actually does  exist already.

PR open tweaks some concepts, nested namespaces, clarifies properties.  Properties = VSS signals.  Similar setup.  Discussion on whether it can be done only "in VSS" instead.

NOTE: Planning  in parallel a "fundamental" discussion on the creation of the common services/interface language likely on July 1 workshop.

VISS version 2, process started to send it out as First Public Working Draft (first working group approves to go to this state).

Discussion on if some features should be optional.  Candidates for optionality are in the areas of filtering and access control.

Some smaller fixes after testing in new environment.

Planning to have a tool to transform from Geotab collected data into VSS.  The first step was implemented (to interpolate curve logging formatted data).
