As FEDERATE is an Coordination and Support Action, the intended results are described in the objectives as
Objective 1: Collect and evaluate future trends (automated driving, V2X, EdgeAI at the SDV and the connected infrastructure) to identify and details those of relevance for SDV, and derive high-level requirements for stakeholders (industry, government, research and community). In addition, definitions are deduced for common non-differentiating building blocks (software components, containers, SDKs, services, ...) that are reusable and scalable across departments and companies, taking into account already existing high level requirements from the stakeholders and those already worked out in the Sherpa Governance Group (SGG) meetings.
Objective 2: Derive a common understanding (glossary) about building blocks in a layered service-oriented architecture with harmonized interfaces and required functionalities and features by organizing workshops with stakeholders and the community, and to strengthen the collaboration.
Objective 3: Prepare and maintain a roadmap on how to create the identified non-differentiating building blocks of an open Software-defined vehicle Ecosystem. Identify and advise relevant RDI funding programs for missing building blocks, tools and technology developments.
Objective 4: Help to create a vibrant SDV community in Europe and furthermore, monitor the performance of the CSA initiative by evaluating the activities as well as the support of the stakeholders and the community during the project lifetime.
Objective 5: Foster an European initiative, which continues the work of the CSA (FEDERATE) to orchestrate a strong open European collaborative community in maintaining and developing a European Software-defined vehicle Ecosystem.
During Y1, FEDERATE has achieved major achievements along all of these objectives. Results are all open access and published on FEDERATE's website (
