24th April 2024

Agenda:

  • AMM feedback
  • Team backlog


Minutes:

  • AMM
    • Feedback
      • Paul: Digital.auto came up a few times. Uncertain about what relationship to playground
        • Steve: Personally I see the core digital.auto functionality as being the visual ideation. For that part it could be both a data feeder of VSS data to the playground and a client which uses the playground as a source.
      • Swen: was useful as first time attendee. From CVI discussion yesterday will be sharing mental model of what I perceive as the bigger picture. We need to understand each other to design the right architecture.
      • Haonan: good conference. Good to meet people finally.
      • Steve: Had some interesting conversations in the Showcase with the Playground demo. Some people really got the concept and even talked about using it in their upcoming hackathon. Also had interest from an academic.
    • Thursday workshop
      • Whiteboard:

          • Connections to COVESA eco-system, e.g. CVI southbound, AOSP northbound
          • Embedded App DB (Realm)
          • DIKW Knowledge layer connector
          • Auto h/w deployment (mid term)
          • Complete project setup: release process etc
  • Discussion in meeting:
    • Need data sets (at rest):
      • VSS data sets (real or simulated)
      • Other data models and rule sets.
    • Next week or two Steve will do some documentation polishing and publish the RemotiveLabs bridge sample code as an example (source is available in his github so ask if you want to know sooner)
    • Discussion of knowledge layer
      • Christian/Haonan are continuing to work on the connector
      • Discussion of rules example Haonan posted to the slack.
      • She explained she's currently bypassing some steps in the processing chain, but is just directly looking at the applicability of processing the timeseries data in RDFox to confirm approaches.
