14:30 - 15:00	Integrate VSS with Automotive Systems: Aligning Data Collection with Business Requirements VSS provides a good basis for modeling and naming sensor and actuator data in a vehicle. The work to standardize CAN signal descriptions and integrating AUTOSAR signals into VSS is quite useful. AUTOSAR could even benefit from the VSS naming scheme. On the other Hand, VSS does not cover how data should be transmitted or which data should be collected when. These are not data modeling tasks and should be handled separately. In fact, data acquisition should be dynamically changeable to address changing business goals. The talk will present how this could be done and what would be advantageous for future COVESA activities. James Hunt

16:00 - 16:30		OTA Updates with Realm Arnaldo Vera
16:30 - 17:30		HIM and an interface using it The Hierarchical Information Model (HIM) is an evolution of the COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) that adds the ability to have multiple trees representing different domains, and representing different types of information. Besides the information type “resource data” that is what is represented by the VSS tree, HIM also supports “service data” where microservices represented by procedures with input and output parameters can be defined. Analogously to VSS, the HIM model does not specify an interface that exposes this information, it leaves this to separate interface specifications. One candidate for this is an evolution of the W3C Vehicle Interface Signal Specification version 2 (VISSv2), that in its current version uses VSS for modelling the data. It is the presenter’s view that this interface can with small modifications be extended to use HIM instead of VSS. This would provide a single interface that can be used to access both information types, that will possibly also be standardized in W3C. The presentation will give the presenter’s view on how this extension could look like. Ulf Bjorkengren

09:00 - 09:45	Architecture and Infrastructure Working Session 9-9:30 BMW & MongoDB VSS-based Data Middleware PoC - Tiered Sync Christian Muehlbauer Arnaldo Vera Stephen Lawrence 9:30-10 Discussion of central data service reference playground This is related to the BMW/MongoDB session above. Topic is evolution towards a public reference playground as previously discussed in Porto and the Data Architecture call. Christian Muehlbauer Stephen Lawrence		Workshop: Creation of a Connected Vehicle Safety Ecosystem The concept behind the “Connected Vehicle Safety Ecosystem” is twofold: Build coalition of auto industry technology providers with complementary capabilities that will work seamlessly together to help prevent vehicle crashes in the first place – and when crashes do happen – to dramatically improve emergency responder response time and effectiveness, as well as victim safety, recovery time and convenience. Second, make it far easier for OEMs to understand and appreciate what each ecosystem partner brings to this broader public safety value proposition/business model, how our respective technologies work with (and complement) each other to seamlessly and dramatically change the game in helping to prevent crashes, deliver far more effective emergency response when they do, and to deliver to their customers an unprecedented level of care to keep them safer at all points in their journeys. This discussion will highlight collective potential contributions of our ecosystem portfolio, including: Maximizing our individual and collective impact: what each company brings to this broader public safety value proposition, and how we can deliver exponentially more value by working together How our respective technologies work together/complement each other Our collective data, and how it can be leveraged for maximum benefit Helping our shared OEM customers to better understand how each of our “pieces” fit together from a technical and business model perspective How we as an ecosystem fit within the overall safety value chain – and how revenue can be made and appropriately shared	Workshop led by Craig Keller and Tim VanGoethem from ESS. Will be inviting a number of companies interested in Vehicle Safety and might be expanding the participants leading interactive and collaborative discussions. Will be reaching out others after this session is approved.

New vehicle capabilities, streaming services and emerging applications all are impacting the ecosystem, along with a plethora of additional information to be communicated to the occupants. The Vehicle Experience BoF is all about the Journey. Driver & passengers interact with the vehicle and content throughout the journey. The proliferation of ADAS, Connectivity, Electrification, Autonomous, and Shared all bring nuance & expectations in the interaction, display of information and non-distracted controls. The power of community will benefit those who desire to take advantage of it. No one company or person will own, shape or define this. The greater connected vehicle ecosystem will. Join us at this collaborative IVE workshop and discover how your organization can get engaged and help define drive future IVE project initiatives.
