The challenges presented above have one
thing in common: collectively solving issues
in using a holistic approach. A single vendor,
single standard or single open source project
cannot address them. The Industrial Internet
Consortium (IIC) is in a unique position in
that it can catalyze efforts in both
standardization and open source efforts
driven by car manufacturers and regulators.
Several IIC groups are collaboratively
contributing on the OTA topic in the context
of the ITS Focus Program:
• The OTA Special Interest Group
(OTA-SIG) focuses on automotive
OTA issues with a goal to find
applicable technologies and best
practices in a broader industrial
context
The Security Working group, along
with the Automotive Task Group,
studies the relationships between
security and safety
Groups within the IIC are currently
collaborating on the authoring and
publication of an IoT distributed
computing framework technical
report that describes technical
aspects of an overall detailed
architecture and where OTA fits in
Lastly, IIC test beds are a perfect vehicle for
assessing the end-to-end value of standards
and solutions through their formal execution
and reporting methodology.
