Test Strategy for Linux-Based Platforms Using Open Source Tools - 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 13, Room 333. Presenter: Abhishek Sharma


    --  Open source software is increasingly being used across different domains
        including automotive. Given the use of open source software in
        automotive product development - and its complexity - it becomes
        imperative to deploy a test strategy to qualify open source-based
        systems. The paper describes various test strategies and tools available
        to qualify such systems, including their features, advantages and
        disadvantages, maintenance and community support.

Seamless Automotive Instrument Cluster - 11 a.m., Wednesday, April 13, Room 333. Presenters: Paul Weindorf, James Krier and Carl Evans


    --  The authors will present new concepts on how to improve the "seamless"
        instrument cluster appearance, so the driver cannot distinguish where
        the display outline is located behind a larger applique. Using these new
        concepts, the entire applique has a dark panel appearance when the
        display is off and minimizes the perceptibility of the rectangular
        display outline behind the applique when the display is on - adding to a
        sense of quality and craftsmanship.

Connected Car Architecture and Virtualization - 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 13, Room 354. Presenter: Husein Dakroub


    --  With the car becoming the "ultimate mobile device," connectivity modules
        will eventually be mainstream in every vehicle. Besides making voice and
        emergency calls, the connected car will share data with telematics
        service providers, back-end systems and other vehicles, resulting in
        more information transferred and displayed in the vehicle. This trend
        will increase vehicle modules, complexity, entry points and
        vulnerabilities. This paper will cover current connected car
        architectures, and a proposed new architecture for the future connected
        car that enhances efficiency and security.
