Welcome to the Gap Analysis Expert Group. While the name does not sound too exciting this Expert Group fulfills an important role for AGL. The task of this Expert Group analyze the AGL system stack and compare it against various targets from different perspectives.

The following are considered possible starting points for gaps analysis. (See also Use Cases and Requirements for IVI )

1. AGL Specification version 0.82 doc pdf
2. GENIVI 6.0
3. Tizen IVI 3.0
4. JLR Use Cases
5. Typical IVI system - this is an abstract concept rather than a definitive specification. In most cases individuals doing the comparison to a typical IVI system do not have a written spec.

There are a number of different gap analysis targets that have been considered.

1. Gap between Tizen IVI 3.0 and a “typical IVI system”
2. Gap between AGL spec 0.82 and a “typical IVI system”
3. Gap between AGL spec 0.82 and GENIVI 6
4. GAP between AGL spec 0.82 and Tizen IVI 3.0
5. Gap between Tizen IVI 3.0 and GENIVI 6
6. Gap between AGL spec 0.82 and JLR Use cases

The results of each of these analyses may feed into the 1.0 version of the AGL specification.

This gap analysis prepared by Symphony Teleca compares the Tizen IVI 3.0 (Release 03/2014) against the feature set of a common IVI platform that OEMs are currently building into their vehicles. It does not include any future features. This gap analysis uses the feature perspective and identifies features, sub-features and sub-sub-features. It also identifies, if possible, where the gap is located (e.g. middleware, operating system, etc.)
