Monday 27 May weekly call

Participants:

• Petar (Visteon)
• Gerald (Bosch)
• Christian (BMW)
• Benjamin (BMW)
• Gunnar
• Philippe

Minutes

• roundtable
• discussion on the project name, consensus on "connected services"
• Slidedeck
  • Gerald went again through the slide deck he presented at the AMM

• Slide #3-4:

  • Gunnar: needs to identify what are the higher level protocols we use on top of radio links

  • 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

Participants:

• Petar (Visteon) new participant
• Gerald (Bosch)
• Guru (Bosch)
• Gunnar
• Philippe

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
