Starnberg (Germany) July 23, 2013 – Technology experts from the automotive electronics industry and academia are invited to present their latest MOST Technology insights and future visions at the next MOST Forum on May 13, 2014 in Stuttgart/Esslingen (Germany). Concurrent with the MOST Cooperation’s All Members Meeting, this one-day conference and exhibition will present current and future technologies and application highlights based on MOST. For the sixth time, the MOST Forum will provide an ideal venue to share ideas and experiences and to discuss the latest news on this de-facto automotive networking standard. The broad international audience will be composed of researchers, designers, engineers, system developers, as well as purchasers, journalists and managers of the industries involved.
Ready-to-use MOST Network
“The most recent MOST Forum in April 2013 in Stuttgart/Esslingen (Germany) gave insight into the future generation of MOST Technology,” stated Rainer Klos, Administrator of the MOST Cooperation (MOSTCO – the standardization organization for the leading automotive multimedia network Media Oriented Systems Transport MOST). “The conclusion of this very successful industry event is that MOST provides a mature, reliable and low-cost network technology, enabling suppliers of infotainment systems as well as carmakers to achieve a short time to market. The technology thus provides a simple-to-apply solution.” In his keynote speech, Harald Schoepp of Johnson Controls spoke about several vantage points of MOST – from a co-inventor’s and technology driver’s outlook, a silicon vendor’s viewpoint, and the perspective of an adopter and implementer of MOST. The further technology update and outlook presented included solutions and scenarios for the future MOST physical layer, compliance and quality aspects, and network and system architecture such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and IP architecture as well as an outlook into the MOST future.
