VSS provides a good basis for modeling and naming sensor and actuator data in a vehicle. The work to standardize CAN signal descriptions and integrating AUTOSAR signals into VSS is quite useful. AUTOSAR could even benefit from the VSS naming scheme. On the other Hand, VSS does not cover how data should be transmitted or which data should be collected when. These are not data modeling tasks and should be handled separately. In fact, data acquisition should be dynamically changeable to address changing business goals. The talk will present how this could be done and what would be advantageous for future COVESA activities.
