MOSTCO Announces MOST® Forum Program

MOST® Forum Will Focus on Seamless Connectivity Worldwide

The MOST® Cooperation – the standardization organization for the leading automotive multimedia network Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) – announces the conference program for the upcoming eighth MOST Forum on April 19, 2016 in Stuttgart/Esslingen (Germany). Conference presentations will illustrate how MOST architecture easily connects to global networking standards such as CI Plus and the open-source platform Linux. Another focus will be on the new coaxial physical layer. "MOST has made its way around the globe and it is now implemented in over 195 car models worldwide," stated Henry Muyshondt, Administrator of the MOST Cooperation. "We again welcome professionals from the automotive electronics industry and academics to attend this international platform for exchange and networking."

Conference Program

After opening the conference and welcoming the attendees, Henry Muyshondt will guide the program. Subsequently, Microchip Technology and Ruetz System Solutions will introduce various aspects of the coaxial physical layer. Eurofins and K2L will introduce compliance and quality aspects. During the lunch and networking break all attendees and speakers are welcome to visit the exhibition area to learn about available MOST solutions and implementations in brand new vehicle models. Further afternoon sessions will give an outlook for the MOST Technology with presenters from Cetitec, K2L, Microchip Technology, the MOST Cooperation, and the Research Center for Information Technology (FZI). The Linux Foundation will show how the combination of MOST and Linux provides an excellent solution for the increasing complexity of IVI and ADAS.

In the exhibition area, various companies will present their innovative MOST solutions and applications. Amongst the exhibitors will be the MOST Cooperation. There will also be exhibits by Coilcraft, Hamamatsu, K2L, the Linux Foundation, Microchip Technology, Ruetz System Solutions, Telemotive, and others. Several media partners are invited to the MOST Forum. These include Automotive Electronics, Display-Plus, EE Times Europe, Elektronik automotive, ElektronikPraxis, Information Gatekeepers, and John Day's Automotive Electronics.

About MOST Technology
MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) is a multimedia networking technology optimized for use in cars and other applications. It enables the transport of high Quality of Service audio and video together with packet data and real-time control over a single transmission medium. MOST can use plastic optical fibers (POF), coax based electrical physical layer, and shielded and unshielded twisted pair (STP/UTP) copper wires that meet automotive environmental requirements. Today, over 195 car models use MOST as the communication backbone for their information and entertainment equipment.

About MOST Cooperation
The MOST Cooperation (MOSTCO) is the organization through which MOST Technology is standardized and refined so that it continues to stay abreast of the latest industry requirements. It consists of international carmakers and key component suppliers. They have joined together to work with the MOST Technology and to contribute to its innovation. The MOST Cooperation is prepared to embrace efforts to develop and standardize the technology for other industries and to establish the corresponding work structures. The MOST Cooperation was founded in 1998 to standardize MOST Technology as a global standard for multimedia networking. Audi, BMW, Daimler, HARMAN and Microchip Technology are its core partners and constitute its Steering Committee. For more information see http://www.mostcooperation.com.
