09:00 - 09:15 - Introductions

09:15 - 12:15 - Audio Architecture for EE

• Action items from Karlsruhe F2F
• Fulup to present his latest work on an Advanced ALSA audio agent (AAAA).
• Comparison of AAAA to Graphics EG Requirements
• Comparison of AAAA to latest Toyota requirements document
• Isogai and Nauhiro to present revised architecture diagram soundmanager_a04.pdf
• Final architecture decision

12:15 - 13:15 - Lunch (Salon II)

13:15 - 14:30 - Yocto Layers and Device Profiles PDF- Jan-Simon

14:45 - 15:45 - App Repository

• Widget creation within the build system - currently building the widgets for reference apps for reference architectures in the CI system.
• Currently only available via AGL gerrit.
• Presentation for app users
• Do we allow binary only apps or require source code?
• Do multiple (or all reference) platforms need to be supported to be accepted?
• Need to include a rating system for apps.
• In parallel we will create a wiki page for commercial vendors to let people know about their capabilities, since these may be service oriented or not related to a specific AGL Application.

15:45 - 16:00 - Break

16:00 - 17:00 - Identity Management and Persistence

• Login strategy
• Identity aware persistency

17:00 - 18:00 - V2C (ForgeRock and IoT.bzh)

• How do we collaborate with outside groups like W3C and Autosar that are working on topics of interest to AGL members?

• Propose a V2C Expert Group with Ashley Stevenson from ForgeRock to lead.

• Authentication
  • V2C EG will make a proposal to the Steering Committee to propose use of OpenID Connect
  • Nori will reach out to Nat from the OpenID Foundation to speak at the October AMM.

Salon I

08:30 - 09:00 - Check-in and Breakfast
09:00 - 10:00 - Toyota Window Manager API - Aurelian

• Aurelian and Joel showed a presentation with the Toyota/Mentor proposed architecture and schedule
• SPEC-765 was created to track this effort.

• Steve L - Security issues. Does Window Manager verify that surface changes are requested by the correct AppIO? How are AppIDs assigned so they cannot be spoofed?
• Fulup - SMACK level checking and verification should be performed by the Window Manager
• As proposed, Window Manager runs as its own process, does that introduce unacceptable latencies?
• The architecture is for a single display run by an single Window Manager. It was suggested that the APIs and Window Manager design should account for multiple displays and Window Manager instances.

• There was a schedule for Sound Manager changes included in the slides. Mentor and Toyota need to provide additional information about this activity. There are on-going Sound Manager activities that may conflict with this effort. Mentor was unable to identify who would be working on this activity.

10:00 - 10:30 - LG Enact JavaScript Framework - Steve Winston
10:30 - 11:30 - Graphics EG
11:30 - 12:00 - CIAT Update - Jan-Simon
12:00 - 13:00 - Lunch (Salon II)

13:00 - 14:00 - Audio Architecture (continued)

• Decisions/plan
  • Use the application level interface proposed on slide 13 of Denso/ADIT presentation as the starting point for Sound Manager binder.
    • Convert to JSON and create binding (AudioKinetic offered to do this) Initial version of the API in August.
    • Need to have the ability to notify an app which PCM stream it is using
    • Need agreement whether we are using virtual channels in ALSA or not.
    • Need to adapt Qt Multimedia and other apps to use the new sound manager binding
    • ADIT and IoT.bzh will work on making the existing Controller Plug-In available as an AGL Binding. This would allow the policies to be controlled from AGL or as a GENIVI plug-in.
    • Need to get more detail from Toyota and Mentor on their plans for Sound Manager.

14:00 - 15:00 - Roadmap for EE and 2018

• Need to review gaps in implementation with the V1.0 spec (Walt will revive the spec status spreadsheet and send to SAT and SC)
• V2C topics
  • Identity Management
  • Personalization
  • Authentication - OpenID Connect Foundation
• Headless and telematics demo with specific boards.
  • End to end demo from Remote vehicle ECU data collection to Cloud based services
• Application repository for demos and new service bindings
• Power management
• Limiting Memory management and CPU consumption by applications
• Reference Hardware Architecture EG - what changes are needed to support?
  • Inter-Display Protocol - Waltham
• Separation of CAN protocol from higher level messages (available for EE)
• Video playback
• App Framework analysis tools (EE and later)

15:00 - 15:30 - CES 2018

• Internationalization to support multiple languages - English, German, French, Japanese
  • Split applications to support multiple layers - Tanikawa-san to discuss with Suzuki-san about what we need from Amanda to accomplish.
  • Wgt follows W3C spec so it supports multiple languages by default, but we have not implemented it.
