ℹ️ About the Event:
This event is part of the Internet of Things user group.

Program Highlights:
The event focuses on the transition from Domain-based to Zonal E/E architectures in modern software-defined vehicles (SDV). The emphasis is on the main challenges of zonal architectures when designing safe network topologies.

Key topics include:

• Transition from Domain-based to Zonal E/E architectures – the impact on network topology.
• Service-Oriented Communication (SOA) in zonal vehicles – advantages, the role of SOME/IP, and efficient network topology design via gateway zonal controllers.
• Case study – implementation of Dynamic Lights functionality in Domain-based and Zonal architectures, key optimization factors.
• Overview of Security/Safety concepts.
• Q&A session.

The event is free but requires mandatory prior registration.

Organized by DEV.BG, a specialized job board for IT jobs.
