Our next call will be held on May 27, 2020.

  1. Industry Use Case and Requirements - Automotive

    • Kuksa : platform for connected vehicles

      • Three parts: 1. A cloud back-end to manage the vehicles .2 In-vehicle platform 3. Development tools

    • Edge use cases

      • Deploy new / updated features to vehicle (Kuksa)

      • Preprocess data before transmitting it (Kuksa App)

      • Keep computation relevant to only a specific geographical area (traffic information)

      • Computation that “follows” the movement of the vehicle (to minimize latency). But how do you transfer state and handle scheduling?

      • Dynamically offload computation to cloud resources

    • Edge Requirements

      • Secure (fine grained authorization)

      • Strong isolation between apps and containers

      • Good IPC

      • Low latency

      • High availability

      • Host of ISO standards to adhere to in the development process. Open source vs official platform certification is an issue.

    • Discussion

      • What kind of API should we have in the car? Kuksa provides a websockets-based API and works as an abstraction layer.

      • Roadside infrastructure. Millimeter wave is envisioned but will likely be limited to urban areas. Cellular or 5g could potentially help.  

      • Many automotive use cases require the predictability of a real-time operating system. Neither ioFog nor fog05 operate in that space right now; both keep themselves separate for any real-time processes (stay in user space) and will simply pull data through APIs.

      • Roadside infrastructure: who owns it and how vehicles

  2. Discussion: Universal Edge Hardware Management

    • All edge hardware has management needs that go further than the need of the edge infrastructure itself. Example: update the OS on nodes.

    • Eclipse Kura is a good example of something that works

    • Things to configure

      • LAN configuration (TCP/IP), including firewall

    • Kura - Ansible integration for OS updates

    • Kura considers the gateway as an appliance. OS is abstracted from the gateway software

    • Kilton to start document on the WG shared drive to gather information about this
