18th AOC: Call for Papers
Dear AUTOSAR Community,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 18th AUTOSAR Open Conference by submitting your abstract.
The AOC is one of AUTOSAR’s key international platforms for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and strategic discussion within the automotive software ecosystem. As a speaker, you will have the opportunity to showcase your work, present your company’s expertise, and contribute to the discussions shaping the future of automotive software.
AOC Motto
The 18th AOC will be held under the motto:
The Global Innovation Platform
From global collaboration to deployed AI enabled automotive software and measurable business value
Your presentation should contribute to the motto, subtopics of interest could be as followed:
- CONTRIBUTE - Building AUTOSAR Together
How can the global community contribute faster and more effectively in the AIDV era? The scope of contributions covers specifications, CAPI implementations, embedded software, tools, test cases, and brand-new AI concepts led by the Conc-AI concept group. This topic explores new models of contribution and collaboration (such as AI industry consensus and interoperability standards), community collaboration and contribution, development acceleration, as well as collaborative methodologies and ideas to make AUTOSAR development faster and more accessible. - BUILD - The AUTOSAR Ecosystem Under AIDV Trends
How does the ecosystem turn standards and common code into usable automotive solutions to meet the demands of AIDV? Focus is placed on utilizing AI to reduce configuration complexity, making AUTOSAR easier to develop, integrate, test, and deploy. It also explores how "AI for AUTOSAR" and "AUTOSAR for AI" can achieve mutual empowerment and bidirectional synergy. - DEPLOY - From Code to Road
Real-world deployments and lessons learned across E/E architectures, central and zonal compute, ADAS/AD, smart cockpit, body, chassis, and powertrain. This topic discusses production architectures, applications, migration strategies, integration experiences, and how AUTOSAR serves as a solid foundation for upper-layer AI applications, showcasing typical examples of driving the evolution from SDV to AIDV through the AIDV framework and AI methodologies. - BENEFIT - Scale and Shared Value
Show the measurable impact of AUTOSAR: engineering savings, reuse, faster iteration, lower integration and lifecycle cost, reduced complexity, increased revenue, and access to more customers. We seek quantified examples and lessons showing how standardization, under AI governance charters, creates business value in real projects, along with learnings and benefits from real-world implementations.
