| <h2>Charter</h2> |
| <h3>Purpose</h3> |
| <p>The Automotive Industry is constantly introducing new and improved features based on advanced |
| electronics and software. The use of these consumer electronics and software has required the |
| automotive industry to define processes and tools that manage the interactions within an |
| organization and within their extended supply chain. To address the growing complexity and |
| time-to-market pressures, the automotive industry needs a common development tool-chain to |
| support the development and testing of these new types of features.</p> |
| <p>Today, many automotive companies use Eclipse to assist in the development of new features. |
| However, a lack of integration between technology stacks, consistent use of tools through-out |
| the supply chain and missing functionality has limited the effectiveness of create a complete |
| development tool-chain.</p> |
| <h3>Scope</h3> |
| <p>The Eclipse Automotive Industry Working Group (EAIWG) will initially work to define, |
| implement and package an Eclipse-based development tool-chain that will become an industry |
| platform for tools for designing advanced automotive electronic systems. The industry platform |
| will include key open source components from Eclipse but also define extension points that can |
| be used to integrate value add tools from a commercial ecosystem or in-house development.</p> |
| <p>The definition of future areas and work items will be discussed by the steering committee as |
| needed.</p> |
| <h3>Working Group Deliverables</h3> |
| <p> |
| The EAIWG will define and maintain the |
| <bold>requirements</bold> |
| , a |
| <bold>technical architecture</bold> |
| and a |
| <bold>roadmap</bold> |
| that defines a common platform for the development and management tools required for the |
| automotive electronic development processes. The working group will also provision the |
| resources to create, ship and maintain the platform. |
| </p> |
| <p>The EAIWG will conduct a gap analysis, identifying the gap between needed and available |
| functionality in the current Eclipse technology platform. Based on this analysis, a |
| prioritized roadmap will be created to implement the missing functions.</p> |
| <p>In addition, the EAIWG may provision other initiatives. These initiatives shall support |
| definition, management and execution of the engineering electronic development in the |
| automotive supply chain.</p> |
| <p>The EAIWG will create a roadmap for publicizing the creation of the EAIWG as well as the |
| acquisition of new members. Once the EAIWG is created, a list of supported events shall be |
| maintained and a quarterly newsletter shall be published.</p> |
| <h3>Participation Guidelines</h3> |
| <p>The Participation Guidelines define the obligations and rights of the participants of the |
| EAIWG.</p> |
| <p>The founding participants agree that the guiding principle of governance shall be based on |
| meritocracy. This means that those companies that provide the resources will be empowered to |
| make the important decision of the EAIWG.</p> |
| <h4>Steering Committee</h4> |
| <p>The members of the steering committee will fund the majority of the work conducted in the |
| EAIWG.</p> |
| <p> |
| The responsibilities of the steering committee are outlined in Section 2 of the <a |
| href="industry_wg_process.php" |
| >Eclipse Industry Working Group Process</a> document. |
| </p> |
| <p>In particular, each steering committee member is required to: |
| |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>appoint at least one technical resource to define and manage the EAIWG roadmap,</li> |
| <li>depending on the roadmap, share in the implementation costs of producing the industry |
| platform,</li> |
| <li>share in the funding of a project office to manage the ongoing operation of the working |
| group and project implementation,</li> |
| <li>specify requirements for the Member Participants of the EAIWG, and</li> |
| <li>be a member of the Eclipse Foundation, at the Solution, Enterprise or Strategic level.</li> |
| </ul> |
| The members of the steering committee will appoint the IWG Chair. She/he will be an employee of |
| a Steering Committee Member company. |
| </p> |
| <h4>Member Participant</h4> |
| <p> |
| Any member of the Eclipse Foundation that satisfies the requirements outlined in Section 2 of |
| the <a href="industry_wg_process.php">Eclipse Industry Working Group Process</a> document can |
| become a member of the EAIWG. Member Participants are required to: |
| |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>regularly participate in the EAIWG meetings, workshops and events</li> |
| <li>provide feedback to the artifacts prepared in the EAWIG (charter, roadmap, schedule, |
| development plans and artifacts),</li> |
| <li>provide marketing and announcement support where applicable, and</li> |
| <li>other requirements as specified by the Steering Committee from time-to-time.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
