Topics:

  • (Currently not published here, potentially confidential)

2022-01-20:

Participants: Sami, Pawel, Piotr, Adnan, Erik, Paul, Stephen

Topics:

  • Charter Status

    • MQTT adapter

      • SAMI: We need one, AUTOSAR will do it

      • Piotr: legal group must discuss how MQTT Adapter can be published

    • ECH is transport agnostic

    • Data mapper

      • to be generated, so scope is instead tool chain which generate data mapper

    • Simulate API

    • PoC- licenses

      • Sami: Focus is to use MIT-based licenses.

      • Sami: How to handle licenses questions

      • Paul: Send to Steve Crumb or Michael

      • Piotr: Where to store questions related to licenses?

      • Paul: Wherever you find most useful

  • AUTOSAR Classic

    • Stephen: COVESA interest in classic, mentioned in charter, both for spec and poC. A bit worrying if in spec but not tested. Renesas also interested in Classic.

    • Stephen: Have you in AUTOSAR discussed Classic for Vehicle API

    • Sami: Classic is on the Radar. Should come at some point. But pushing first for adaptive.

    • Stephen: May be some interest to get some guidance on how to implement in Classic

    • Sami: We intend to be able to read data from classic in adaptive, but you mean implementing on classsic?

    • Sami: We have not considered implementing gateway on classic

  • https://github.com/langroodi/Adaptive-AUTOSAR

    • Adnan: Could it possibly be used for simulation, some seem to use it?

    • Adnan: Could we possibly use it to emulate AUTOSAR env?

    • Pawel: Require some checks on our side

    • Adnan: Sami needs to give some feedback, is what they are doing fine from license perspective

    • Stephen: What are dependencies? In-house?

    • Sami to contact Michael (AUTOSAR legal) on if this repo can be used, anyway need to consult team

  • Next steps

    • What to discuss next week in sync, what is left for meeting 3rd?

    • What to do after steering body meeting Feb 3rd

      • Format charter outside google, generate PDF to have something fixed to review?

    • Collaboration structure after next steering group

      • Erik: Shall we continue with this slot also after 3rd feb?

      • Paul: Seems good

      • Sami: Once concluded with charter, we hopefully also have license agreement in place as we may need to discuss more

      • Stephen: Ask Steve/Niclas how collaboration can be set up, we need to sync on legal check

    • Discussion

      • Adnan: we proposed a draft, circulate a few days in advance, include what Tieto presented at CES

        • Pawel: Will check, can provide something beginning of next week

      • Stephen: Get statement on license, highlight open topics

        • Erik: Shall we send to license group for questions

        • Paul: Yes

        • Sami: Could we have next call with them, charter say we shall align with legal group, invite them to next Friday

    • Action Points

      • Erik: Integrate latest comments, cleanup of doc

      • Erik: Ask Legal team (Steve Crumb, Niclas Höret) if they can join next week, send them charter. Also ask for meeting legal framework.

      • Pawel: Provide material from (or link to info on) Tieto CES PoC

      • Erik: Paul to create meeting link for continued meeting series (after Feb 3rd)

Participants: Sami, Pawel, Piotr, Adnan, Erik

Quick notes:

  • Cloud WG has discussed the specification table in meeting yesterday (Jan 12th)

  • Erik: Ulf from Ford has created proposal for for an API

  • Adnan: We need to focus on core part first

  • Adnan: Piotr- do you have any API spec from poC. Do you have any high level description you can share?

  • Piotr: We could extract something.

  • Adnan: Concerning ECH, We want to have some form of simulation env so non-AUTOSAR members can test/demonstrate it.

  • Sami: ECH network adapter interface will not expose anything today covered by AUTOSAR licensing.

  • Piotr: AUTOSAR Partners can use demonstrator for simulation. We could possibly make a stubbed implementation not using ara::com that gives same behavior.

  • Adnan: Would there be legal problems?

  • Sami: We need to consult AUTOSAR legal team.

  • Adnan: How can we mimic AUTOSAR service runtime env to show full pipeline available for non-AUTOSAR partners.

  • Piotr: We could possibly as part of PoC use Franca for internal southbound instead of ara::com so it can be be run outside AUTOSAR.

  • Sami: This is more related to Data Mapper, have a different implementation not relying on AUTOSAR service

  • Erik: I have based on comment from Stephen Lawrence

  • Erik: If we are to implement an MQT ECH, dowe need to integrate a MQTT netw adapter

  • Pawel: If we provide method, it can support both both MQTT and others

  • Erik: You need to specify something, like topics

  • Pawel: That is likely configuration

  • Sami: An ECH may support multiple adapter,

  • Pawel: Every API has access to a message queue. callbacks. All handled by configurations.

  • Sami: So ECH are quite generic

  • Erik: I assume there is need for a small glue layer somewhere been generic network adapter (e.g. MQTT stack)

  • Erik: So it seems we are quite aligned on specs, next week we can hopefully discuss PoC and ref implementation contents

  • Sami: We need legal guidance on how to collaborate for documents where AUTOSAR is responsible but COVESA to be consulted

Way forward:

  • AUTOSAR WG Cloud has next meeting Thu 19th - PoC/ref Impl to be discussed

  • Pavel to prepare presentation how existing PoC/Demo exists, to be discussed first in AUTOSAR Cloud WG

  • Next joined meeting Fri 20th

Participants: Sami, Paul, Erik

Quick notes

  • Alignment on what was agreed in last steering board meeting

    • Protocol mentions both 31st and 23/24th

      • We can have understanding of deliverables without knowing details

      • Sami back from from vacation about Jan 4th

    • Erik add draft component/deliverable proposal, intended to be ready before Jan 4th, then Sami can do a quick review

2022-12-09

Quick notes, please reply if changes are needed. They shall be considered as informal notes only, not a formal protocol

 

Participants: Nadym, Adnan, Sami, Erik

 

  • Scope of project was discussed, - are parts where no collaboration is needed (like AUTOSAR Data Mapper) to be considered as part of project?

  • We need in the charter to state something about responsibilities and collaboration model for the various components

  • Erik: Licensing of components needs to be synched with Legal working group

  • Sami: We  call upper part adapter, we assume Linux contains VISS server, possibly use VISS as Vehicle API

  • Erik: There can be things in VISS that are too complex for us now, like subscription filters, token

  • Adnan: Want lightweight between AUTOSAR/Linux

  • Adnan: Could possibly consider defining API in OpenAPI

  • Sami: What is meant by the statement that methods is to be supported fist in a later increment? Don’t we need methods in the API

  • Erik: We need methods for read/write/subscribe, but no need to support custom-specified methods to access functions in AUTOSAR

  • Sami: Assisting marketing and training may be out of scope

  • Sami: Developing technical API is main focus, assisting marketing/training

  • Erik: But we may need to support setup of PoC and Demoas

  • Decision: Add “may” in text

  • Sami: CLA discussion on AUTOSAR side in progress

  • Sami: We will have next internal AUTOSAR meeting on Thursday, we may add more comments to charter

  • Adnan: If you already have your ideas on charter you could send it to us and we can align/merge them

  • Erik:Then rough plan is that on COVESA-AUTOSAR meeting Dec 16th we (ie COVESA) present the Charter and you (i.e. AUTOSAR) present their comments

  • How to progress

    • Erik: How often to meet

    • Sami: Joint meeting every second week might be sufficient, we have internal every week

    • Erik: Current charter says at least every second week, we can have it more frequent

    • Erik: Do we need a kickoff (online or insite) next year? Half-day?

    • Agreement: Present idea on kick off in steering committee next Friday

    • Erik: Good if you (Sami) could participate dec 16th
