DATE Save the Date 17 to 19 April 2023

Dear DATE community,

We, the DATE Sponsors Committee (DSC) and the DATE Executive Committee (DEC), are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragedy currently unfolding in Ukraine, and we would like to express our full solidarity with all the people and families affected by the war.

Our thoughts also go out to everyone in Ukraine and Russia, whether they are directly or indirectly affected by the events, and we extend our deep sympathy.

We condemn Russia’s military action in Ukraine, which violates international law. And we call on the different governments to take immediate action to protect everyone in that country, particularly including its civilian population and people affiliated with its universities.

Now more than ever, our DATE community must promote our societal values (justice, freedom, respect, community, and responsibility) and confront this situation collectively and peacefully to end this nonsense war.

DATE Sponsors and Executive Committees.

1. What makes the project concept unique?

The GENIAL! Project targets the organization of innovations in complex value chains, in particular in the automotive domain, from semiconductor manufacturer up to OEM. Existing modeling languages, tools and methods for systems engineering focus on a concrete development process. GENIAL! extends their scope by a temporal dimension for estimation of performances and planning innovations in the mid- and long-term future.

For this purpose, GENIAL develops:

  • A cloud-based repository of functions, performances, and its future availability and means for consistency checking and constraint propagation (AGILA).
  • A modeling language (SysMD, leaning towards SysML v2 textual) with low entry-hurdle that permits contributions from different domains.
  • A graphical frontend (IRIS) for interactive analysis, exploration of the innovation-space, and collaborative planning of innovations.

2. What project outcomes can be of use to the DATE 2022 community?

The project outcomes are at one hand the above-mentioned tools and processes for analyzing future innovations in the value chain. At the other hand, concrete libraries and roadmaps targeting the automotive and microelectronic domain are expected outcomes in the next two years. While the libraries target simplifying the analysis, the roadmaps are agreed and public results that answer important questions such as which innovations at the (functional) level of an OEM are expected in the future, which enabling technologies from the semiconductor side are expected, and how these interact.

3. What inputs (solutions) are expected from the DATE 2022 community?

The GENIAL! project aims at feedback from the DATE 2022 community regarding the feasibility of the GENIAL! Approach in order to further improve the projects’s outcome. Furthermore GENIAL! is open for further contributors.

4. What new research topics and trends the project introduces?

GENIAL! introduces for the first time means (processes, tools) for the systematic long-term collaboration and planning of innovations in a complex value-chain.
