Minutes

Debriefing of Cloud & Connected Services sessions at the tech summit

Project Charter

• Keith: revisiting the project charter would be helpful, in particular identifying the deliverables
• /TODO/ Philippe revise the project charter

Data Models

• Philippe: in my opinion, it turns out that we can proceed with VSS as the baseline data model 
• Glenn: VSS is very helpful, there is a need to have a better awareness about having a data model, there is a need to present if in next year's conferences
• Glenn: we need to develop the data required by different use cases
• Gunnar: we would like to put most of the BMW data model into the VSS work
• Glenn: will be bring Ulf who is working with W3C in the conversation
• Philippe: could the identification of use cases be done using the ones identified in Kevin's presentation of the communication infrastructure ?
• Kevin: yes, use cases are also related to the data categories

Data categories

• Gunnar: we need to make categories of data w.r.t. sensitivity of data, privacy, different laws and juridiction
• Kevin: I propose to create a wiki page on data categories
• Benjamin: agreed it does make sense
• /TODO/ Kevin create a wiki page on data categories (for next week's call)

Data aggregation

• then Gunnar presents his notes from the workshop
• Gunnar: VSM we should look over this project , this is about combining the signals into other set of signals
• Glenn: data aggregation is one of the most important use case from our commercial fleet management business
• Gunnar: this relates to vehicle-side algorithms to aggregate data

Miscellaneous

• Gunnar: there is a need for exchanging (short) video in a commercial vehicle context
• Gunnar: it might be wortk looking at the use cases identifed in the 5G whitepaper
• Gunnar: when it comes down to controlling a vehicle, specific remote APIs are likely better than data exchange
• Gunnar: there is a need to look at DDS
• Philippe: this is rather for the GPRO project backlog
• /TODO/ Gunnar & Kevin add notes from the tech summit sessions to the page of wiki minutes

System design

• Kevin: in this session, we discussed actually more fundamentals questions than the design itself like privacy, authorization, etc.
• Philippe: I would recommend we start using the term "policies" when we want to describe the constraints / attrributes attached to a category of data

Data models gap analysis

• Philippe: the participants need to review the google doc containing the gap analysis deliverables
• discussion on how to bring the doc to completenss
• /TODO/ Benjamin write an intro + a conclusion to the doc based on the list of bullet points
• /TODO/ Gunnar write the section on Vehile HAL, i.e. on how to connect the Vehicle HAL to the vehicle data capturing infrastructure

AOB

• Kevi: provides the link to "FIA manifesto" related to the Extended Vehicle
  https://www.fiaregion1.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/20191113_Manifesto-Fair-Digitalisation.pdf

Connected Services planning of tech summit

Session One: towards a common data model

• Introductory slides and more slides to guide a workshop:
• Define overall goal (* of workshop)
  • find a common data model
  • include questions to trigger discussion
• the goal of the project itself should be in the earlier overview presentation, but can be repeated
• /TODO/ Keith review the CCS project charter
• Outline from before:
  • starting from the data in the vehicle
  • VSS intro, AA Vehicle HAL intro
  • Report on the gap analysis (Sensoris, etc.)
  • Need for consolidating the models: Ask OEMs & participants about it
• Anticipate and think about answers to questions/concerns that come up: (Many new people, some might start from scratch with this standardization idea)
  • Hard to standardize on CAN signals
    • (find useful subset (already exists in diagnostics),
    • => discuss the need for standards on the developer "API" level anyway.
    • VSS can be used on CAN/network level but also on the higher levels.
    • => Discuss the need to minimize (but maybe not eliminate) data translation across network -> local apps -> cloud → data/statistics users
  • Someone might ask: Does the work cover remote Unlock car, start engine, and similar functions?
    • =>There is definite resistance to this. Discuss reasons why? Is it security concerns?
    • => Do open specifications have a (negative) relationship to cyber-security ? Prepare answer on this.

  • Keith: IMHO we need to explain we do not look at the downloading of data from the cloud to the vehicle, just upload of vehicle data, it might help breaking some resistance to the standardization of an upload link

  • Concerns about that standards may be linked to OEMs being forced to give away data
    • -> A controlled (standard) approach will allow handling this likely better than a "wild west"
  • CCS can focus, if participants prefer, not on not only technical standards but also anticipate a framework for the commercial contract setups that control the actual live data that is exchanged at any time. In other words: Technical standards are not equal to the data exchange itself
• How to define data items is not the same as the actual data (sensor measurements, user data)
• How is access managed?
  • => Fine-grained access control for applications and users of data
  • Prepare presentation of access control approaches (technical means)
    • => Access control in a Neutral-Server environment (probably input from Kevin)
• Before 10:45am-12:15pm (towards a common data model session) there is the project introduction session. Make sure to address some of the concerns there.
  • Data on the internal vehicle level is not the same as outside the car. Both have potential for some standardization but can be done on only one of them too.
  • How the choice of technical specification can affect the end result (performance, feasibility of ...)
  • Policies for future-proofing (new versions of protocol specifications, and of the VSS itself).
  • Discussion: What parts of the VSS-based ecosystem is based on a standard database of named signal, and how large parts are proprietary extensions?
    • Example: Oil consumption unit depends on location.
    • Units - VSS has losely specified an approach for this as follows:
      • Prefer international (SI) units.
      • But in some cases non-SI unit is the defacto standard in automotive.
      • And in some cases there are no agreed standards.
  • Question: Are there some signals that should allow for more than one unit to be fair to all OEMs ? E.g. km/h and miles/h. Some that have a preference extremely strong in some markets? Notable, drivers are in different countries so on the user HMI level, car manufacturers already do a lot of conversion to local preferences. So the problem would remain only on standardization on in-car networks
• /TODO/ Benjamin, prepare material with input from the above, and we can do a final review next week
  
  • Present Gap Analysis results is also a part of this

Abstract of Session One (for reference)
The GENIVI Cloud and Connected Services project intends to define an end-to-end reference architecture between vehicle sensors and the back-end cloud. Essential to this architecture is agreeing to a common method of representing in-vehicle data. This session will provide overviews of the Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS), used in the definition of the W3C automotive working group. It will look at gaps existing with other data models and in the in-vehicle portion of the architecture, explore data in an Android Automotive context and consider ways of consolidating vehicle data modeling approaches

Session Two: The Value of Vehicle Data to Enterprises., Moderated by Keith (LGE)

• FIRST: Keith -- create short intro. (needs input on what the speakers will include, i.e. needs their slides)
• Connection to AUTOSAR? Keith is our liaison
• Session plan:
  • Blueprint for Vehicle-Oriented, Data Strategy (Kevin Valdek, CTO, High Mobility) 30 min?
  • Unlocking the Value in Vehicular Data Using Analytics (Amir Sayegh, Geotab)  30 min?
  • Can we have a coffee break here? Yes (possibly local to this track) Coffee break - plan for 30 minutes
  • Industry Standards for Advanced Vehicle Data (John Schmotzer, Emerging Analytics Connected Vehicle Manager, Ford) 30 min?
  • Q&A: 30 minutes,
  • Coffee break - plan for 30 minutes
  • Total time : 150 minutes
    = total 30 minutes remains for additional discussion time.
  • Should be adequate, if we can have the coffee break as planned _before_ the last talk.

Session Three:  Capturing Vehicle Data and Communication Framework Design (Moderated by Kevin Valdek, High Mobility)

• Kevin is preparing his inputs following call with Gunnar and Philippe scheduled on Thursday last week

Gap analysis deliverable readiness check

• wiki page is in good shape, some additional inputs or reviews needed
• /TODO/ participants review Benjamin's text on CVIM
• Gerald reported that it seems HERE entered also the field of vehicle data and include also the neutral server concept.
  • link: https://developer.here.com/blog/open-location-platform-2.8-release
  • Access to vehicle sensor data - the Marketplace can now act as a secure, neutral, GDPR-compliant hub for data consumers to gain access to vehicle data from participating Automotive manufacturers 
  • Consent management - ensures privacy for owners and drivers of vehicles, by allowing them to grant and revoke consent for specific third-parties to access data generated by their vehicles
  • ISO 20078 <https://www.iso.org/standard/66978.html> "ExVe" compliant interface - simplifies platform integration for data providers and consumer
  • /TODO/ Guru review Here open location platform content and determine whether this is relevant for CCS and has an impact on our work, identify also a list of questions to be asked to the Sensoris project lead during the 2nd call we are considering have with him

Minutes

• GENIVI technical summit - content planning, additional information
  
  • registration link is at https://www.eventleaf.com/TechSummit19ent
  • content will be finalized this week, 3 tracks are planned: Connected Services, Android Automotive, Cybersecurity
  • quick poll on who will attend
• https://grpc.io/: is this relevant for CCS ?
  • g stands for Google
  • Gunnar: we look at Google rpc in the GPRO project when we did the survey on communication protocols, look at the list of technologies we looked at and the GPRO white paper
  • grprc is built on http2 which never took off, people are rather working on http3, gprc is likely well suited on web technologies, it is one of many choices that are out there
  • from my perspective, it is relevant but not more relevant than anything else, when it comes to protocols that are not REST oriented protocols, MQTT has more relevance
• SAREF Automotive - https://www.w3.org/2019/09/trans-data-ws/SAREF.pdf
  
  • Benjamin reviewed the paper presented at the W3C workshop on data models for transportation, his findings on SAREF automotive are here
  • use cases identified in the paper are
    • Platooning
    • Automated Valet Parking (AVP)
    • Cooperative Perception Service (CPS)
    • Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs)
  • Philippe: these use cases fit well into the the future, i.e. much beyond a 5-year horizon
  • Philippe: IMHO currently in the CCS project,  short term is represented by the current High Mobility offering on the market, and the on-going work is rather looking at the mid-term,
  • Kevin: it would be good to ask OEMs what use cases are more tangible to implement
• Gap analysis deliverable - review feedback of draft sections on VSS, Sensoris, etc.
  • Philippe: I reshuffled the pages a little bit and the draft deliverable appears now in the main CCS page table of content, look at Gap analysis draft deliverable
  • Philippe: Guru and Benjamin have provided their inputs, Guru added his inputs in the wiki, I added the link the CVIM doc prepared by Benjamin to the wiki page
  • Kevin: I reviewed the draft document on VSS prepared by Gunnar, the intro is not specific to VSS but fairly general
  • Gunnar: agreed, we need to ask again for the review work  the VSS doc
  • /TODO/ Daniel/Benjamin/Guru/etc please review the VSS doc
  • Gunnar: I will review the Sensoris section written by Guru
  • Kevin: I will review the CVIM doc prepared by Benjamin
  • Gunnar: Steve pointed us to two other data exchange standards from the Open Group
  • I found them to be mostly similar or related to what OCF might be doing.  I also found them to be fairly thin specs in particular O-DM but the messaging standard might have something useful
    • Open Data Format (O-DF) https://publications.opengroup.org/c14a
    • Open Messaging Interface (O-MI) https://publications.opengroup.org/c14b
  • We are wondering what OCF think about it:
    • Is it used by OCF or not ?
    • Is it out of scope and covering other unrelated things ?
    • or is it overlapping, but OCF have created other standards to cover this instead ? (It might of course boil down to a simple XML vs JSON preference...)
    • Unknown User (don.dulchinos) Do you have any feeling on how well these standards are adopted?
  • /TODO/ Don review these data exchange standards from the Open Group
  • Gunnar: we should consider adding some info on SAREF and the Open Group work in the gap analysis deliverable
• Design concerns wiki page - more feedback
  • link added to the CCS main wiki page
  • Gunnar: the topics / issues in the design concerns page should be transformed soon in a set of work items described in jira, Kevin has provided his comments already, other comments are welcome until next week call
  • I will also review the existing tickets in Jira that might be relevant to the topics described in the design concerns wiki page
  • Philippe: I will projectize this in Jira starting next week
• Sprint & backlog review (end of Sprint 4)
  • VCS-48 - Getting issue details... STATUS target date for producing the gap analysis deliverable is 8 November, we will present it at the tech summit
  • VCS-59 - Getting issue details... STATUS /TODO/ Gunnar ping Michael Ger to get a Cloudera architect into CCS project
  • VCS-35 - Getting issue details... STATUS Daniel said he is "back" and should start working on it this week
  • VCS-60 - Getting issue details... STATUS /TODO/ Gerald please do
  • VCS-6 - Getting issue details... STATUS see above design concerns, projectization will be developed further starting next week
  • VCS-61 - Getting issue details... STATUS done, see above
  • VCS-39 - Getting issue details... STATUS no news from Sebastian, Gerald Spreitz can you help ?
• Enterprise data value: new topic to be added to the project scope ?
  • Steve: when I met with Ford last week, one of their concerns was how to make value out of the vehicle data
  • this is a gap in the CCS project charter according to Ford and GM perspective
  • Steve: it seems to me that these organisations do not fuly understand yet what means a shared platform for capturing and distributing vehicle data
  • Gunnar: one of the criticisms we had with the European OEMs concept of neutral server is that the OEMs will control all the vehicle data, we do not understand what the enterprise data value means for for the US OEMs yet,
  • Steve: theUS OEMs seem to be looking for which strategic partnerships they need to build for the vehicle data
  • Kevin: what kind of uses cases are foreseen , what kind of data rates are considered ?
  • Philippe: I would suggest to ask high mobility (Kevin) to deliver a company presentation at the tech summit because HM business in my opinion exemplifies what the enterprise data value is about

  • Ondrej works for Kitsler, a sensor manufacturing company https://www.kistler.com
  • Ondrej shows a slide deck on OCF Cloud WG, Device API for Cloud Services, Cloud API for Cloud Services
  • Philippe: IMHO the OCF cloud services are to be added as a possible cloud-based framework for poc development & end-to-end integration in the later stages of CCS project
  • Gerald: can we possibly clarify about the mapping of the OCF cloud services to the automotive use cases ? with vendor A = BMW and vendor = GM for instance
  • Ondrej : my car is one of the devices, when I sit in my car, I can see my local (home) data
  • Guru: is there a limitation on the number of vehicles connected ?

  • Steve: our objective is to engage those OEMs (and their suppliers) in working sessions about the CCS project
  • Philippe:  please all of you put a note in your calendar and check your travel plan ! thanks
• Design concerns
  
  • Kevin provided his inputs as comments to the wiki page, look at Design concerns, comments are reviewed online
  • Kevin: the wiki page is a very good thread opener
  • discussion on Kevin's first comment on the protocols, actually rather on the different ways of performing the data capturing from the vehicle to the servers

  • Gunnar: on the protocol for Vehicle => 3rd Party Servers, we need to go out and survey who are the players in the industry and which models of data capturing are acceptable

  • Kevin: : it's a bit of a different case, it could be brought out separately from the in-vehicle infotainment system to third-party servers, because that's the route the data would take.

  • Gunnar: presumably,  yes, it is like an app getting a direct connection and maybe we leave that out the scope and say that's not part of our infrastructure. But at the same time in order to cover all cases, we should consider these points, see what they mean for us and see if we can relate to them in some way in our specifications because otherwise companies tend to work around it anyway, and they end up doing ad hoc things that we might be able to avoid if we actually cover it in our discussions

  • Kevin: actually vehicle to third-party servers connection comes down to connecting to devices or devices in general like a smartphone, this is the obvious example of having a direct access from my mobile device or an application in a mobile device to the onboard systems, that's more of the typical MirrorLink type of solutions, but it is true there is a lack of data protocols there and if this is VSS that the Vehicle Gateway is using and if these are VSS data that are being uploaded to the cloud, then of course if there is a direct connection with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth from smartphone and the vehicle, it makes sense that the VSS model or a certain data model is used there as well.

  • Kevin: One more comment in the OEM server to neutral server part,  we should add a connection from OEM server to third-party servers or developers as in general the OEMs will provide an API both for neutral servers who serve as intermediaries and directly to third parties, that's already starting to become a common practice and should be considered.

  • Kevin: I have another comment that relates to the question Gerald mentioned with big data earlier, in my opinion there are certain (or maybe even larger) design impacts of the system considering personalized data, which are more like small data chunks with high frequency and high velocity rather than big data type of sharing between two different services. Probably the system block-diagrams are to look quite different at some components level.

  • Kevin: in my second set of comments, I added some thoughts about the third-party expectations. This is nothing groundbreaking but more practical things. The callback feature is one thing that third parties expect. Third parties rely a lot on quite up-to-date data. That means that sometimes even one minute old data is not that good because of a business case where you need to act fast on certain data or because of the user experience for instance in electric car charging where you want to get an event as soon as charging is complete.

  • Kevin: with the VSS and the W3C, I've seen websocket protocols are considered, and the system design should have (when we have a Rest API or an SDK) a callback system with web hooks, this was mentioned also in the OCF presentation. Today a lot of these OEM systems that do provide data don't provide callback systems in general and it is a bit of a headache for third parties. Typically there are different request limits that can be hard to meet at the same time, if there are no webhooks, it creates a problem because third parties want to get the latest data at the same time and the OEMs might limit them with their request limits because otherwise they get too much traffic to the servers. This kind of problem needs to be solved with technology and should be part of the system design we are considering

  • Kevin: in the last two steps of my second set of comments, I added a few things about the fleets. In general with data sharing, there is a general consent from the owners of the car, this is more for personal vehicles, when it comes to fleets, there are different considerations. If a fleet owner has 1,000 vehicles for instance, the third party application and the fleet owner are the same entity, in that case how that is handled and how the data querying is handled probably should be also part of the overall system design.

  • Gunnar: I agree with your views, IMHO we should have a list of typical applications / use cases, i.e. something to drive where we need to do different solutions. As you said, the solutions might be different for fleet management applications and user oriented applications. Also what you said about the Big Data statistics being a different one from user-centric data.

  • Kevin: agreed, I could add a list of use cases in the wiki page trying to cover some different verticals.

  • Philippe: we need to ask again Cloudera about their inputs of the system design for gathering vehicle big data

  • /TODO/ Gunnar set up a call with Cloudera to get their inputs of the system design for gathering vehicle big data

• Gap analysis
  • Gunnar: shares the draft sections on VSS available at this document and asks participants to review it
  • Guru: wonders whether building a huge wiki page containing all the sections of the gap analysis is the right approach
  • Gunnar: for the time being, in my opinion, the sections for each project should be structured according to the wiki page table of content
  • Guru: will finalize the draft sections on Sensoris accordingly in the document he initiated and will call for a review in one day or so

  • Philippe: Benjamin said it will start working on it on Wednesday
    • Gunnar: before I can start writing my contribution, I feld the need to put down my thoughts on the framework design
    • these can be found at Design concerns that shows the different ways we can think about for the framework design
    • Philippe: I would recommend that you review the architecture and building blocks for the neutral server approach with High Mobility because this is their business and the same for the big data approach with Cloudera because this is also their business
    • Philippe (added offline). Kevin said last week he could add to the initial list questions coming from their experience with 3rd parties at High Mobility
    • Gunnar: we need to spot a technical contact at Cloudera (I will ask Michael Ger)

  • system design
  • OCF cloud WG

Minutes

• roundtable
  
  • Keith:  LGE has an automotive component division, not quite like Hitachi or Yamaha though
  • Keith is the only person working on Autosar at LGE, US, Keith's role is to be fully active in Autosar
  • 2-3 months ago Keith started raising the awareness around Autosar in the Silicon Valley
• Sync opportunity with Autosar
  • during this week's meeting with Steve Crumb, the slides he showed sounded very familiar to me because they were close to what I presented the Cloud Services WG to Autosar sometime ago
  • the logical next step is to come with a single standard, in my opinion there is potentially a lot of synergy on the topic of cloud services between the two consortia
  • LGE has a particular interest in cloud services
  • the possible working mode Steve and I identified would be that Autosar endorse whatever will come out from the GENIVI work

• Gap analysis deliverable
  • Kevin will make his contribution by Thursday
  • Guru shows the (Word) document he is working on for the Sensoris part, he will import it into Confluence soon
  • Philippe recommends Guru to maintain a list of questions to Sensoris, we will have an opportunity to pass them over to Sensoris project lead during the second call scheduled in almost 2-week time
  • Philippe changed the status of the Jira tickets related to the gap analysis work
    
    • Gunnar shares the content outline for the VSS part of the document
    • Don asks about the status of VSS work and would like to sync with Ted Guild on W3C work
    • Gunnar suggests to set up a call with Ted
• System Design
  • Gunnar introduces the proof-of-concept for performing the translation from VSS to Franca to Some/IP, bottom-up works better for me
  • Philippe: please look at the minutes of the AASIG Vehicle Data API project
  • Gunnar; the question is whether we make direct conversions from data specs (like VSS) to protocol like REST or do we go through Franca ?
  • Philippe: in my opinion, we should have a list of open questions
  • Gunnar Andersson: /TODO/ Gunnar initiate a list of open questions related to system design
  • Kevin: I can add to the initial list questions coming from our experience with 3rd parties at High Mobility

Minutes

• Call with Sensoris
  • very good and friendly atmosphere in the call
  • Prokop seems to be quite open for a coordination discussion
  • He gave a rough overview od Sensoris including business cases and system architecture, business cases are OEM-related and do not intend to provide an open access to the vehicle
  • Sensoris objective is to describe what the car is sensing for the world surrounding it, e.g. number of lanes, road works, traffic signals, outside temperatue (as part of a data set called climate, temperature and weather)
  • Gunnar: VSS (was described by Prokop as...) focusing more on the in-vehicle data and SensorIS more on modeling the outside world that the car drives through.  We have not been through to compare the data models during the call but there seems to be is some overlap in some areas but not in other like map-related data and data with a location-based focus
  • Gunnar: License - Sensoris do not permit derivatives (Using CC-BY-ND).   It could be interpreted as they are only body that can launch Sensoris specs, but also means that flexible reuse is difficult.  They propose openess to anyone who wants to change the SensorIS spec.  
  • Unknown: "This is the way they work with Japanese projects"
    • look at the CCS minutes of July 22, link to Japanese projects:  http://en.sip-adus.go.jp/sip/
  • Gunnar: Sensoris welcome any proposal that would make their data model more complete, but this proposal would become part of the Sensoris data model because of their licensing approach
  • Prokop shows an architecture picture (that includes GENIVI and AGL as a kind of "technology choices" inside of vehicle.  Explanation was made about GENIVI Alliance actual scope and current projects.)
  • Sensoris main purpose is to make sure that OEMs are not delivering different data, they should deliver the same data
  • Prokop said it is out of scope of Sensoris to describe the system and software architecture, however they care about the "how" (e.g. protocols) to some extent
  • Gerald: motivation for having a common data model in Sensoris is for instance the wipers model (e.g. 3 bits on the CAN bus)
  • Gunnar: Gerald had a quite long discussion with Prokop about how OEMs provide the data, Sensoris does not care about the software architecture OEMs will use, more that the data that comes out is according to some shared standard (so that 3rd party developers can engage with more than one OEM).
  • Gunnar: it seems they would reuse whatever architecture is defined by GENIVI
  • Philippe: IMHO we should not fight for having an aligment of the data models, we could likely live with some duplicated representation for the data that overlap between Sensoris and VSS
  • Benjamin: agreed
  • discussion follows on GENVIVI scope vs Sensoris scope, VSS could be considered upstream w.r.t. Sensoris for the data defined in both projects
  • another meeting will be scheduled in 4-week time, we need to do our gap analysis between Sensoris and VSS first
    • VCS-35 - Getting issue details... STATUS   will be added to the new sprint
  • Scrum review
    • VCS-42 - Getting issue details... STATUS done
    • VCS-47 - Getting issue details... STATUS done
    • VCS-31 - Getting issue details... STATUS kept in the backlog, can be activated whenever Don provides us with an update on the OCF Automotive group work
    • VCS-42 - Getting issue details... STATUS done,
    • VCS-52 - Getting issue details... STATUS created, we might be interested in knowing more about the OCF cloud services framework in the future when we start looking at the available technologies for the framework
    • VCS-40 - Getting issue details... STATUS done
    • VCS-50 - Getting issue details... STATUS done, Gerald provided an updated version of the CCS block-diagram highlighting GENIVI components rather than Autosar framework
    • VCS-33 - Getting issue details... STATUS done
    • VCS-35 - Getting issue details... STATUS added to the sprint, new Jira ticket created VCS-53 - Getting issue details... STATUS   with blocking link added
    • VCS-38 - Getting issue details... STATUS updated
      • Gerald: IMHO ISO ExVe is not too exciting, performing a gap analysis between ExVe is to be further discussed with Kevin,
      • ticket is reassigned to Kevin to determine whether it is worth GENIVI buys the access to the specs from ANSI/ISO,
      • Gunnar: then we should likely check the architecture proposed by ISO ExVe can be filled by some components we have identified in the GENIVI communication framework
  • Review of remaining items related to Analysis epic in the backlog
    • VCS-3 - Getting issue details... STATUS actually done with the various surveys completed
    • tickets to be added to the next Sprint starting on 10 September:

Minutes

• Kevin Valdek opened the meeting and welcomed participants.
• Discussing the organization of the gap analysis document...
• Kevin has produced an outline proposal in VCS-48. 
• Gunnar has put some ideas into a wiki page
• How do we slice the document.  One chapter per compared (data model) covering all characteristics, or one chapter per characteristics/topic covering all data models.
  • some discussion, no obvious conclusion - but let's write an outline for clearer proposal we can decide on.
• SC: I would like to see a motivation chapter (for the GENIVI deliverable itself) to clarify document purpose and organization to the reader.
• Gunnar: Seems like we need to rework this a bit with the given input.
• Kevin: I volunteer to propose a (new, detailed) outline of the document
• Kevin will rework the Wiki page that Gunnar started on (because it is now kind of obsolete).
• Gerald: I can report on my action (VCS-28).  Yes, overall we think CCC digital key is not much in scope. About car data, they are apparently not planning to create a data model / data taxonomy.
• Gunnar: OK so their main deliverable is requirements, or a design and a programming API?   If a programming API, there can be some similarity between an API and a data exchange model, so I would at least take some look (for overlap) if it is an API.
• Gerald: ... yes it seems mostly requirements, use-cases, ... maybe more.  I can check a bit more.
• Kevin/Gunnar: We should include them (any organization that falls a bit out of scope) in the report nonetheless, just to document that we have analyzed them and drawn a conclusion.
• Gunnar: Let's go through the JIRA tickets so we don't miss anything
• Kevin: I can do that, I will display...
• VCS 25 - Gerald: I sent a mail to Sensoris chairman about a joint meeting.  No answer, need to retry this.
• VCS-50 - (W3C workshop) Steve Crumb: Yes it is confirmed that GENIVI will present the project on the W3C workshop
• VCS-2  This is Philippe's ticket and looks like a kind of overview tracking ticket (An Epic, sort of)
• VCS-33 - (SENSORIS vs VSS) Still open only because the presentation has not been published in the Wiki (Benjamin was reminded)
• VCS-25, Guru working on it.  Keep it open.
• VCS-34 - Sensoris vs CVIM. We think we can close the ticket.  Overlaps other analysis.
• VCS-38 - Steve Crumb:  I have an update.  I contacted ANSI via helpdesk.  They require us a site license ($1200) to get the specification and we must put limits on the individuals that may read it.  How many of you can get your own access via your organization?
• Kevin: I can read the ExVe document.
• Gerald and Guru: Also we can do that.
• ...BMW?  (Benjamin can't go on audio, but we assume it ought to be accessible – follow up)
• SC:  GENIVI might purchase it only for staff since the limited circulation requirement will in that case not allow us to distribute to the members.  Steve will investigate this.
• VCS-39.  Kuksa. Gerald will contact Sebastian to see status
• VCS-42.  Automat Security analysis.  Gunnar:  I will try to make sure it is presented to the security meeting this Thursday, as requested.  We assume this ticket stays open until then.
• VCS-47.  Don:  This is on track.  I am talking to OCF tomorrow.
• Kevin: Any other business?

  • Philippe: we need to get Daniel and Benjamin in the loop
  • Philippe: I added Androif Auto P.Car to the list of projects we will review, the analysis of P.Car is starting in the Android Automotive SIG Vehicle Data APIs subproject, from this work, we expect to get a gap analysis between what AA provides and what the OEMs need w.r.t. the vehicle data APIs
  • /TODO/ Kevin, Gerald, Gunnar initiate a thread offline to decide on the topics assignment, VCS-48 - Getting issue details... STATUS created and assigned
  • Philippe: IMHO we need to start writing now
• OCF update
  • Philippe: welcomes Don Dulchinos representing OCF Automotive
  • Don: introduces himself, Don is in consulting business - contracted to a security company which is interested in automotiven, tried the OCF Automotive project a year ago, set up an official liaison with GENIVI
  • this year has done some work in April/May, OCF has started a cloud interface WG and wanted to set up a liaison with W3C and this took a long time
  • in June there was an event in Colorado with JLR and W3C where they discuss to have a poc done, OCF has some interest in it but not strong enough
  • then Don organized a call with with Ted and chair of OCF strategy,
    • OCF got recently renewed interest in this automotive group: Honeywell (smart thermostats), interested in the connection to the home
    • use case: someone is driving to his home and wants to get access to the home for setting thermostats
    • Gerald: is there the reverse direction use case ?
    • Don: not an Honeywell use case
    • OCF is interesting in having a demo at CES 2020, there is also an interop event scheduled before in December
  • discussion on demos
    • Philippe: timeline for a Cloud & Connected Services project demo is for CES2021, we intend to work before on a gap analysis between various projects working on the vehicle data access and then we will scope and specify possibly a common framework for the vehicle data access and define APIs
    • Gunnar: back to OCF demo, what are the companies investigating the cloud APIs in OCF ?
    • Don: Samsung, Honeywell for instance
    • Gunnar: IMHO OCF would consider joining the  GENIVI showcase ar CES 2019, you would need to contact the organiser of this event
  • Don: I will talk to the governance of OCF (i.e. companies like Samsung, Intel, Honeywell active in the cloud interface)
  • Don: is GENIVI active with the W3C ?

Kevin moderates the call. Thanks.

1- Update on automat project

• Philippe reports the outcome of the two calls he had with Automat project participants last week
  • Renault participant on Wed 31 July
  • Automat cybersecurity WP lead (from Trialog) on Tue 30 July (A,ntonio)
• call wirh Renault

  • VW had the biggest budget share in the automat project (up to 25%)

  • the VW team involved was from the After Sales division (not from the R&D) and had a very short term vision of their needs

  • VW interest was on what happened in the vehicle before a failure using histograms, because they wanted to minimize the telecom costs for data transmission and therefore the quantity of data transmitted

  • there were actually two competing approaches for the vehicle data telemetry in the automat project: histograms for VW vs time series for Renault and Fiat (CRF Fiat R&D), the time series approach consisted in transmitting as many raw data as possible and processing them offline with big computers

  • At the beginning of the project, HERE proposed to use the Sensoris approach for gathering vehicle data but there was nothing like histograms in Sensoris and this approach was not investigated further

  • Renault did a proof-of-concept using a dongle to gather the data, VW and CRF decided to use existing ECUs (CRF used an existing TCU (communication box)

  • At the end of the project the OEMs decided not to continue.

• call with Trialog

  • Trialog pointed to the following position paper from BDVA (Big Data Value Association), Antonio was one of the main contributors to this paper based  on his work in the automat project with a particular focus on the privacy for big data

    • link: http://www.bdva.eu/sites/default/files/BDVA%20DataSharingSpace%20PositionPaper_April2019_V1.pdf

  • Antonio mentions also the SAREF work on data ontologies pushed by EU whose motivation is to define and promote a European standard

    • link: https://www.etsi.org/newsroom/press-releases/1620-2019-06-etsi-releases-3-new-ontology-specifications-for-smart-cities-industry-4-0-and-smart-agriculture

  • Antonio mentions W3C / Web of Things (WoT) work whose charter starts with a statement on the ecosystem fragmentation

    • link: https://www.w3.org/WoT/

  • data privacy / security in automat

    • the interesting feature of the automat cybersecurity work is that it relies on existing standards (at the time of the project execution timeline)

    • Antonio said it would be good to review and restructure and update the automat cybersecurity framework according to recent US NIST work that takes into account the product lifecycle (to be shared witl the GENIVI security team)

• Conclusion on automat

  • Philippe's personal conclusion is that we have looked enough into Automat, unless we have an indication that Autosar will eventually use Automat CVIM as an input to their Cloud Services WG work, we in GENIVI should focus on Sensoris and VSS and ISO ExVe, we will also coordinate with Autosar on this

  • call participants agree

  • Guru: said he will look further into requirements for histograms as defined by automat and check what was not supported in Sensoris

  • However the work done in automat on cybersecurity is good and relates to a big data architecture, Philippe recommends the GENIVI security team to review it and amend it w.r.t. US NIST work and extract possibly use cases to benchmark the MoRa tool

• Additional information (for Kevin and others)
  • yet another proposal from VW
    • look at  Volkswagen Infotainment Web Interface (ViWi)
    • and at W3C automotive big data task force that explains how VSS and ViWI alignment are performed

2- Gap analysis deliverable: document owner and contributors, table of content update

• Philippe: said he added P.Car (from AOSP) to the list of projects on Vehicle Data APIs we have to consider for the gap analysis
  • P.Car is investigated in the AASIG Vehicle Data APIs subproject which started last week, look here
• Kevin: asked whether we will have one or several deliverables on gap analysis
• Philippe: said he is fine with both approaches, we need an executive summary to provide an overview of the results anyway, the format of the deliverables could possibly followed the one of the technical papers published earlier like GPRO white paper
• Philippe: we need to assign sections / deliverables to contributors and nominate a document owner, we will create the relevant Jira iickets in the new sprint that will start next Monday
  • Kevin: said he (and his team) can do a contribution
  • Guru: will check with Gerald whether Bosch can do a contribution

3- Scrum review

• VCS tracker https://at.projects.genivi.org/jira/browse/VCS
• VCS-38 - Getting issue details... STATUS  commented and updated, subtask created VCS-47 - Getting issue details... STATUS on how GENIVI could access ISO specs created and assigned to Steve
• VCS-45 - Getting issue details... STATUS  closing remarks on automat project added
• VCS-46 - Getting issue details... STATUS table of content for gap analysis doc reviewed and agreed, closing remark added (see above), done
• VCS-28 - Getting issue details... STATUS we need to find an owner for the review of CCC specs

Minutes

Kevin moderates the call. Thanks.

Gap analysis deliverable proposal 

• Kevin: the proposal from Philippe is good and we already have most of the necessary information about each project to start
• Guru input:
  • For the scope overlap/gap part we can bring in a table structure that we use for comparison
  • We can define data characters from one project to another
  • We can add information about how each project is being adopted by the industry
• Steve: when talking about deliverables, can we draw experience from the work being done in the Android Automotive SIG? Data topics are being discussed there as well.
• Philippe (added offline) : IMHO we could add P.Car as one of the inputs we need to review, to be discussed at the next meeting

Extended Vehicle ISO 20078 summary 

• Kevin presents - key points:
  • The ISO standard was published end of Q1 this year. It covers concept and specific requirements for OEMs to follow when providing car data access to third parties via web services
  • The standard consists of three different parts:
    • Content (resources)
    • Security framework
    • Access (consent flow)
  • The standard does not enforce or recommend any specific car data protocols
  • Should be useful for the CS project. To consider: if a deliverable should be compatible with the standard
  • Documents are not available in the public domain, but licensed
• Guru:
  • There’s a lot of info in the document that is useful: Authorisation, REST API etc.
  • As the documents are not in the public domain. Does GENIVI have any type of collaboration with the ISO body, to get access to the information? How could it be done?
• Steve: will investigate if we can get a license

Minutes

• Presentation of Michael Ger and other participants.
• Gunnar: I'm hoping Cloudera will provide great input to the "Big Data" flavor of the technical architecture (which likely complements the on-demand protocols like W3C VSI).
• Gerald went through the minutes of the OADF meeting and through that described the different topics that are discussed in that forum.
• Guru presented analysis of current Sensoris work (Analysis document *)
• Benjamin presented AutoMat overview (slide deck *)

*  please find links to material from the corresponding ticket in the JIRA project if not provided here. 
Over time the material ought also be summarized as results of the project on the parent Wiki page.

Discussion:

• Michael Ger asked for login.  Gunnar answered via email.
• Gunnar asked every presenter to update their corresponding JIRA ticket.  If anyone is still having issues with login, email Gunnar and/or Philippe (on vacation this week).
• Benjamin's presentation was a little short on time.  Decided to follow up next week on more detailed discussion on comparing the data models.
• Gunnar will create a ticket for "gap analysis" accordingly.

Minutes

• automat project security framework:

  • Petar shows a comprehensive and informative slide deck detailing his findings during his review of the cybersecurity framework, look here

  • Philippe asks how much the architecture of the vehicle data access related to the so-called vehicle neutral server (as described in the original ACEA paper)
  • Petar: yes it is relevant, however there are many ways to establish the access
  • Daniel (and his colleagues) will review the slide deck and provide feedback as well, Jira ticket created
  • Gerald: istm automat project is quite open w.r.t. to the data they want to use, the security framework proposed there might be reused with different data sets
  • Petar: the data set that goes with the automat project is the Common Vehicle Interaction Model (CVIM)
• W3C
  • Gunnar introduces the wiki page he prepared for describing the status of W3C work, he will present the status in the next call
• Sensoris
  • Gerald contacted his Bosch colleague who attended the Open Auto Drive Forum (OADF) two weeks ago, however his colleague is rather interested in HD maps and not so much by the vehicle sensor data which is Sensoris project focus

  •  For early July the public release of version 1.0.0 under the CC-BY-ND license is planned.

• AOB
  • schedule of weekly calls
  • Philippe: we got a request to shift the call later in the afternoon in order to allow US participants to join. There seems to be possible participants from US Pacific timezone as well
    • quick poll: Daniel 4-5pm CET is the latest possible timeslot, Petar 4-5pm or 5-6pm CET is fine, Gerald 4-5pm or 5-6pm CET
    • this time is ok for US Central/Eastern but is anyway too early for US Pacific, we will likely end up with a second US Pacific friendly call

Minutes

• news

  • project charter

    • Philippe is preparing a project charter for advertizing our work, we foresee to breakdown the project into 2 stages

    • Stage 1 focusing on data, i.e. what we are initiating now with an objective to decrease the fragmentation of the ecosystem with several different approaches to describe the vehicle data and the communication framework to access them

    • Stage 2 focusing on compute, initial though is to look into cloud computing platform to support mobility and vehicle autonomy

    • this charter will be shared with this project participants
  • project tracker
    • Philippe: has created a Jira tracker https://at.projects.genivi.org/jira/browse/VCS

  • Gerald: asked Iliol whether there are public funded projects related to vehicle data in Korea
• project status
• we use the Jira tickets of the active sprint
• Kevin (High-Mobility) has reviewed the automat project Commoin Vehicle Information Model and presented his findings VCS-26 - Survey AUTOMAT specifications (Common Vehicle Information Model - CVIM) In Progress

  • the model describes big data for connected cars, it is quite different from VSS, it goes very deep in data harmonization and proposes several layers like signals + measurement layer + data package layer

  • Gunnar: how is it compared to W3C

  • Kevin: I have not seen the same information than in W3C

  • Benjamin:  we have a metadata Task Force in W3C, it is part of what next generation will do, we will have different kind of meta data, I would recommend to use the best practice, no competition now from W3C because there is no spec on this topic yet

  • Kevin will summarize his findings in the wiki
• Petar (Visteon) is reviewing the automat project security model VCS-32 - Read AUTOMAT security document In Progress
• Gerald (Bosch) will spot the colleague within Bosch who attended the OADF conference, objective is to learn about the Sensoris specifications status VCS-25 - Survey SENSORIS specifications To Do
• Gerald: we need to make a comparison between the various data and protocol specifications

Wednesday 12 June

Webinar on W3C Auto WG & GENIVI collaboration, VSS and Vehicle Data definition future steps
      Wednesday, June 12, 1300 CEST

recording

Monday 10 June - informal call

(This call was not intended/schedule and therefore had no official invite.  Therefore only had 3 participants, but we still made progress in discussing the needed steps and plans which will benefit the group for next time)

Participants: Kevin, Petar, Gunnar

Using a Etherpad at Mozilla we captured:

Security guidelines

1. Collect and write down Security guidelines

Idea to produce general security guidelines for different parts of the data-oriented parchitecture.

E.g.
- For this API type you should apply this type of security...
- For this data link ....
- Web services and Mobile App requirements are different
- High Mobility has input to give here
- GENIVI Security group could review, if we have something written down
  (We discussed to prepare a draft result first since the Sec Team does not benefit from an undefined "open question" at this point)

Data categories

2. Analyze What type of data is needed  for different data users?
- Recognize that fine-grained filtering is needed, and mechanisms for it
but here we rather mean:
- Define names of groups of data, and describe them.

...Service classes that need different refresh rates 
- Define groups and needs 

Data contracts 

- Quick intro to discussion in W3C before.  It came up because it relates to the definition of the needs of each party.  These needs eventually get formalized into contracts and that is the link.
 - Grab-bag of tools/questions/terms to define business contracts or more technical contracts
 - A kind of checklist...
 - Purpose: Simplify business contracts on data, and make sure details are not lost
 

Tech constraints, technology choices

 What are the Technical constraints that are imposed by the used technology?
 - Communication paradigm and protocols (pub/sub, req/res, REST, MQTT)
 - Middleware and components standing in the data path - caching layer, service layer, service bus

Surveying existing initiatives
- SENSORIS -> await this week's meeting and announcements, and see the outcome before defining actions
- Automat  - Data formats and types and similar things are in their specs.  Read and consider alignment.
   https://automat-project.eu/content/open-cvim-specification
- W3C protocol content (being worked on with participation in group - but summarizing and presenting to the group is useful).  Also Webinar tomorrow. 
- CCC - have we confirmed there is nothing to reuse or relate to or is this still active?  Reconfirm with PR and GS.
- ... follow up with the rest of the list 

Question:  SENSORIS - which companies can lead the investigation and alignment?
Answer:
- not Visteon - Petar did not reach anyone working with it
- not HM - 
- Bosch? ...  figure out this list

Terms/names/definitions
Steps: 
- Review existing specs, do they include a Glossary 
- ... and/or just start writing it down

Collecting Information in Wiki to complete the picture

- Action for all:  Populate the Wiki with useful links
- Example of things to link to: 
    Other Projects
    Specifications
    Presentations & Videos
    Implementations of basic technologies (open source projects)

  Do this on the Connected Services home page: https://at.projects.genivi.org/wiki/x/PIAVAg
  
- AUTOMAT Security document looks useful to read in addition to CVIM spec.
  
Steps/Actions (current and future to be assigned)

- AI(all): First get projects.genivi.org Wiki account if you don't have it (signup link is this one - it is part of JIRA) This is now changed and the old process should NOT be used:  Please read the right column of the Wiki starting page for up to date instructions.
- Read AUTOMAT CVIM specification -- AI: Kevin -- read and summarize, present next week
- AUTOMAT Security document -- AI: Petar -- read and summarize, present next week
Future:
- Look at other AUTOMAT docs - are any other important to read?

Monday 3 June weekly call

Participants:

• Petar (Visteon)
• Christian (BMW) (partially)
• Kevin (High Mobility)
• Rafael (xapix)
• Stephen L
• Gunnar
• Philippe
• apologies: Sebastian (Bosch) vacation

Minutes

• roundtable

  • Rafael: xapix is a German company based in Berlin trying to create an api automotive platform www.xapix.io
• takeaway from AMM
  • Kevin: liked to talk about the standardization of car data, VSS, VSS 2
  • high mobility has a different perspective, establishing the framework between high mobility, the car and the cloud
  • a lot of different protocols, not only VSS 2 but also several others
  • discussion on the various protocols
  • Gunnar: at AMM we got a presentation by cloudera on the way data are managed in an automotive api framework (big data architecture)
  • Discussion followed on capturing all the different players/users of the architecture. Third-party "app" development API, is that a programming API or "only" the W3C REST-based architecture?
• High level vision on the project scope
  • Gunnar: shows this slide deck
  • Petar: agrees totally with slides 3&4
  • one question on how to describe a behavior/service, need to represent different data types, and how to represent data that is made up of combining data from several sources.
  • Gunnar: When it comes to combining signals into more refined data, the VSM project is investigating exactly that. It provides currently a python implementation. This can be useful to run on powerful IT systems, and/or be further refined to a optimized compiled code through code-generation for example.
  • look at: GitHub/GENIVI/vehicle_signal_manager
  • Kevin: I have a more organisational level, question, is VSS 2 more based on REST ?
  • clarification brought by Gunnar on the various topics wip at W3C: VISS, VSS 2, etc.
  • Clarifying VSS (Data Model @GENIVI GitHub), VISS v1 (W3C specification, which does also refer to VSS as the (minimum) data that shall be provided. VISS v2 (ongoing, in combination of augmenting VSS v2 to the needs). VISS v2 primarily focuses on adding HTTP/REST but some augmentations of the underlying features and data models happen in combination with this.
  • Clarifying differences of work in data definition:
    • data-model description (Exemplified by VSS - shared among implementors)
    • actual data names and descriptions (Also exemplified by VSS - shared among data providers/users)
    • actual data names and descriptions (E.g. proprietary extended VSS additional, e.g. OEM private)
  • Notice that VSS provides two different roles - defining HOW to define data, and also WHAT data, but these can be treated separately!
  • There is some talk of "other data models" in W3C, not clear if this is just other proprietary data, described in VSS-like format, or if it is described in some other format. Also not clear what those other formats might be. VSS is generally adapted to match the needs that come up.
  • The fact that some companies are worried to agree that all data names/descriptions are shared tend to block the discussion. We all understand that some data definitions are unique and private and VSS v1 already described private extensions. We understand that we benefit first from a shared way to describe it, and shared tooling, second that we also can benefit from some data being shared and defined (e.g. any "developer API" *requires* that to be defined at some point), and we also agree that companies may have some own unique and private data. Key point: No part should block progress on any other part.
  • Kevin asked about if W3C VISS service covers security access control features. Gunnar answered that it is specified weakly on VISS v1 (but that still allows for implementors to add it), and that in v2 we will see what makes it into the formal specification (timing, progress), but there are some discussions.
• homework
  • review the draft workplan and Gunnar's slidedeck
  • back to the project naming ==> homework for next week- coin other project names
• AOB
  
  • participation to OADF open conference next week in Munich ==> check whether some of your colleagues are attending it

Monday 27 May weekly call

  • discussion on the roles to play by various organizations for the definition of data containers, many organizations are currently competing on this

  • Gerald: where is the most interested area for the genivi group ?

  • Benjamin: I have  multiple perspectives on those topics (slide 3), this is a highly fragmented ecosystem

  • Petar: IoT style communications are more interesting to me, having a connected vehicle does not mean a vehicle is always connected in my opinion

• slide 6 - ISO ExVehicle

  • BMW: does not know who from BMW is involved

  • /TODO/ each participant find who in their company is involved in ISO work ExVehicle

  • /TODO/ Philippe contact Kevin to check whether high-mobility is implementing an alpha version of the ExVehicle concept and ask him to join the call

  • Gunnar: does everyone has the same understanding of what a neutral server is ?

  • Gunnar: as genivi we need to work on the interfaces between the various parts of the architecture

  • Christian: agreed, we need to define the interfaces and *do it first*

• slide 6 - Sensoris

  • Gerald: they have something like a neutral server

  • /TODO/ each participatant attend or get information on the OADF/Sensoris workshop scheduled in June

  • The next OADF meeting will take place on June 12, 2019 in the Leonardo Royal Hotel in Munich, Germany. It will be combined with the first NDS Public Conference on the day after at the same location:
    • June 12: 12th Open Auto Drive Forum (OADF)
    • June 13: NDS Public Conference
    • link: https://nds-association.org/ (agenda is there)
• slide 7

  • discussion on how CCC and W3C sync on those topics

  • Gunnar: in his opinion, this should not be not a constraint for our work

  • /TODO/ each participant find who in their company is involved in CCC work

• slide 8

  • automat: it is likely a good idea to check this project because there are 2 OEMs involved (VW, Renault) and also there seems to be a comprehensive work on security and privacy

  • Philippe: IoT - FYI genivi has a liaison agreement with OCF

  • /TODO/ Petar look into OCF work

  • Petar: kuksa project  is quite comprehensive

  • Autosar: cloud services - Benjamin discussed this with Sebastianat the AMM

  • /TODO/ Philippe contact Sebastian (Bosch) about the Autosar cloud services

• slide 11

  • Gerald: thinks we need to pre-integrate some parts of the reference architecture

  • /TODO/ Philippe ask Daniel (BMW) why he has a concern about abstract layers and invite him to join the call

• Gunnar will prepare a slidedeck delivering his vision of what we should work on (in reference to the 5-level ladder shown in the panel on future vehicle electrical architectures at the AMM, look at slide #3 of future EE architectures)

Monday 20 May weekly call

Minutes

• roundtable
  • Petar: works with Visteon Connected Car team, he is a colleague of Giovanni (GPRO project), he is also based in Sofia, Bulgaria
  • Petar is the solution architect of the team responsible for the overall architecture of the Visteon platform for connected services
  • Petar has 12 year experience in connected services, for the entire stack from infrastructure to Web content end-to-end and for standard compliance
  • Petar is currently more on R&D and prototyping than production
• Slidedeck
  • Gerald went through the slide deck he presented at the AMM
  • Gerald: session went out very well, better than expected, a lot of experience people attended, Melco (Mitsubishi Electric) which is quite involved in W3C was there and showed a lot of interest

• next steps following AMM workshop
  • organization of weekly calls (instead of every other week):  agreed
  • /TODO/ Philippe send out an invite for the calls (starting next Monday) to the genivi-projects mailing list and the list of interested participants gathered  at the AMM
  • /TODO/ Philippe initiate a wiki page for the project
• feedback from today's call participants
  • Petar: workplan is quite interesting, told us he identified interesting work on IoT protocol standardization, the Homie protocol specification  that he came across a couple of months ago. Although it is suggested to be home IoT-oriented, it is generic enough to provide structured data interface for IoT communication, which falls in the scope of Car to Cloud.
  • link: https://homieiot.github.io/
  • Petar: has a question on the authorization work, is it also on the cloud side ?
  • Gerald: yes, you are right, something is needed on the cloud side
  • Gerald: Daniel Wilms (BMW) expressed his concern about piling up abstraction layers
  • Philippe: this has been a recurrent concern from BMW for a couple of years
  • Gunnar: thinks this is a no brainer
