GENIVI intends to define a reference software architecture and develop or adopt middleware components to harmonize vehicle state and sensor information gathering with the generic IoT approach and cloud based application. Doing this, it is a given that existing standards and protocols will determine the architecture. In addition, a close connection to existing alliances and working group is necessary, e.g. W3C, Sensoris, CCC, AUTOSAR. In this session W3C will present the state of the standardization of the vehicle web interfaces. Then the GENIVI Car2Cloud Bird-Of-a-Feather group will detail the workplan for developing an open source implementation of the vehicle data gathering reference software architecture and will call for participation in the workplan.
