Meeting notes 2023-02-29
- Central Data Service Playground now very close to minimum viable product
- Operational: As we spin up things like online documentation makes sense to both leverage existing experience with say VSS and to do it in a consistent way with what exists to ease overall maintenance, e.g. similar operational patterns.
- Any existing artifacts we can leverage?
- Tips, e.g. CI?
- Review: Will be increasingly asking people to try, review and give feedback.
- Wider eco-system: Will be considering examples and connection of "lego" to other parts of Covesa eco-system.
- https://github.com/COVESA/cdsp
- Discuss Covesa approach to images in Docker Hub
- Need to understand what is required to upstream and maintain images of Covesa tech in Docker Hub
- Any group experience we can leverage?
- Something related to VISS project transfer from W3C?
- Bosch open source pages mentions VSS - https://opensource.bosch.com/
- ChargeX
- How to "refactor" meetings
- Not many subject or participants lately

- Erik: Please propose topics for future DEG meetings
- Erik: Possibly revive the backlog at https://github.com/orgs/COVESA/projects/1
- AMM
- DEG Update -message, discussion topics,
- Proposal from Carina
Meeting notes 2023-02-15
- VISS governance
- If we want to handle VISS as a "standard", do we need a stricter process for merging changes and releasing new versions (compared to for example VSS)? Like formal review period, formal vote in TST?
- AMM Agenda
- AMM Agenda - proposal from Carin
- With regards to planning for AMM agenda there was one idea / wish I had on the agenda that I'd like to run by the three of you... Many of the VSS sessions at AMMs are (and should be!) related to quite nitty gritty development by the working group. However; at the session I've been I've heard the repeated frustration from developers, mostly at OEMs, for how to match signals from proprietary ones to VSS in an efficient way. I've brought up the idea with our developers that it would be interesting with a brainstorming session at AMM Gothenburg or co-problem ideation for generating different potential solution paths for how to work efficiently /methodology / tooling /AI tests etc. The feedback from RemotiveLabs engineers was "we'd like to participate in such a sessions (we have ideas and even tickets for this internally ), but currently we are not equipped /prepared to lead such a session". For your information, we are planning to join the meeting in Gothenburg with 4-5 people (2-3 of which engineers i.e. you don't have to put up with only me and Emil this time hahah )... so I guess what I'm trying to do is propose to you guys if you like the idea that COVESA VSS chairs sets up a slot for this? (i.e. RemotiveLabs not involved more than anyone else who joins). Then anyone can take 5 minutes to explain an idea / proposals but to be a session where experiences and ideas are shared to connect further. Does this make sense? I think it would complement the other types of VSS sessions.
Topic Backlog:
- Catena-X - shall we approach them? Do we want to collaborate, and if so how.
- Discussion January 2024?
- TODO: Identify possible alternatives from technical/organizational perspective

Meeting Notes 2023-07-27
- Information: Erik on vacation August 1st -Sept 1st
- VSS review Monday Jul 31, 2023 ⋅ 3pm – 7pm (Central European Time - Berlin)
- Diagram/Document Storage (Stephen)
- There has been some discussion before, but with the rise in reuse of our materials as shown last week we need to move towards a solution to encourage reuse. I'll be creating a git rep for the Data Architecture/Infrastructure work, but there is the bigger picture of the Data EG, AOSP and Covesa as a whole. Illustration where does someone go to get current Covesa Data Expert Group scope diagram?
- Erik: There have been discussion in the past, possibly use github rather than wiki. I created a draft (restricted access) at https://github.com/COVESA/data-expert-group some time ago
- Halim: Could generate from git
- Interface/API way forward
- Adnan:
- Have one stream on IFEX, clear goal to define scope of IFEX.
- One part on catalog/operations, also covering the service API. Discussion can start happening. Try to skip the "catalog" name
- Need to find a catchier name, start looking at proposals
- Stephen: Putting in context is useful
- Adnan: With IFEX i could glue things together
- Adnan: Would be good if Halim could collect some areas that would be use to describe
- Adnan: Unsure if IFEX is mature enough. We need to have a definition of "final result"
- Erik: Even if we trust IFEX concept, we should define the "input format" or "output format" that shall IFEX needs to work with
- Adnan: Contribution to a Data Expert Group blogpost would be very welcome. Inform Adnan if you are interested.
- Way forward:
- Paul: Maybe use VSC timeslot ys for regular meetings
- Halim: We can start w Monday schedule, decide on other afterwards. Fridays would be better.

- Stephen: DEG Git repository - reluctant to create a big DEG Architecture repo. We need somewhere to put the markdown. Maybe "data-arch-doc".
Meeting Notes 2023-06-15
- Discussion Topics
- Stephen presented Design Pattern / Data Architecture documentation proposal
- HIM & IFEX
- Ulf: Service taxanomy can possible be shared, but serves partially different purposes.
- Ulf: HIM gives a possibility to describe procedure signatures, similar to how VSS describe signals, which then can be used by interface design like VISS
- Ulf: I think we need a RPC model
- Adnan: Service definition could reference other models, like referencing VSS position
- Gunnar: Are you talking about abstract service/function definition, or more specific that can be generated to real service implementations/stubs
- Adnan: I see VISS like an API definition, IFEX more as an IDL that be converted to a lot of things
- Gunnar: If there is VISS API that supports RPC, it could be generated from IFEX
- Gunnar on IFEX:
- Hierarchical namespace
- A concept "interface" that specifies methods, properties, ... A combination of things we intend to expose that we can use to define a callable API
- Namespaces of methods often related to software architecture, possibly we could have multiple hierachies.
- Gunnar: We need to identify what is missing
- Adnan: Has studied IFEX VSS proposal, wants something more standardized compared to Franca, like Yaml/JSON-based. A framework that allows to import multiple inputs, like ARXML, Android, and generate to various formats.
- Adnan: Possible technical track on next board f2f-meeting, (Cologne 19-20 July, SOAFEE/AUTOSAR 18th)
- Gunnar: How we can support AUTOSAR in IFEX
Meeting Notes 2023-06-08
- Prioritized topics for next meeting
- HIM&IFEX to be discussed June 15th
Meeting Notes 2023-06-01
- Discussion
- "Ulf/HIM proposal" (Hierarchical Information Model)
1. Decide on name for the evolved data model.
2. Create a new COVESA Github repo based on the new name.
3. Decide on a directory structure that can accommodate rule set definitions for multiple domains and multiple information types.
4. Create a rudimentary README on the top level giving a high level description of the new data model.
5. Move the VSS "rules definition" (the documentation) from the VSS repo to an appropriate directory on this new repo.
6. Create a rule set for services that that meets the requirements from the "passenger car domain" (VSS).
7. On the VSS repo, create an initial service tree based on the rule set from the bullet above. Continue to evolve it in parallell with the existing VSS tree.
8. Analyze the impact on VSS-Tools that the above has, take action on the insights from that.
9. Try to influence the W3C automotive group to evolve VISSv2 to support the new data model.
10. If successful on the above bullet, create a new COVESA project that will develop a POC containing a technology stack based on the evolved W3C interface and COVESA data model.
- Discussion:
- Ulf: Could be soft started as VSS subproject
- Ulf: Do not see HIM file as input to vss-tools, it is the server that consumes it, it still work with initial trees
- Erik: Suggestion:
- Let Paul create a HIM repo (M/W/X)
- Ulf to start working with repo, describe motivation, idea, and suggested increments/roadmap and basic architecture
- Describe what problem we intend to solve, why do we create it.
- Then let DEG discuss at regular interval, keep VSS meeting informed
- When mature we can discuss how to involve more people
- Decision: OK for Paul to create repo
- Discuss relationship to VCS when we have the parts above ready
- Adnan: SDV and Eclipse
