During KARYON final workshop, the project promotion videos were presented. There is one video for the automotive domain and one for the avionic. These videos describe the work that has been done in the project and the key conceptual results.

Chalmers is preparing its final demonstration with Coordinated Intersection Crossing, Vehicular Platooning and Cooperative Lane Change. The demonstration integrates different KARYON’s concepts results, such as level of service, safety kernel, and cooperative level of service evaluator.

Chalmers was interviewed for RTS TV (NOUVO) about concepts developed in the KARYON Project. Elad Michael Schiller (Chalmers) has appeared on NOUVO’s internet TV program. Elad was interviewed on the KARYON results and the expected developments in automatic driving.

Rolf Johansson from SP had presented a joint KARYON paper on ’An Architecture Pattern Enabling Safety at Lower Cost and with Higher Performance’ at ERTS2. The ERTS2 congress is a European cross sector event on Embedded Software and Systems. The 2014 edition has gathered more than 100 talks, 500 participants and 80 exhibitors.

We are proud to announce that the paper entitled "Chaos: versatile and efficient all-to-all data sharing and in-network processing at scale", presenting work developed by the Chalmers team in the scope of KARYON, has received the best paper award at the 11th ACM Conference on Embedded Network Sensor Systems (SenSys '13). The paper was authored by Olaf Landsiedel, Federico Ferrari, Marco Zimmerling. Congratulations to our colleagues!    

Chalmers had carried out a KARYON dissemination activity during the science festival 2013 (Vetenskapsfestivalen). The audience included young scientists and engineering enthusiasts. The presentation discusses KARYON related problems and solutions.

4S srl had presented KARYON in the training course at Katech (the Korea Automotive Technology Institute) on Functional Safety according to ISO 26262 (November 2012). The audience had included 15 people with different expertise in the area of automotive.   The course covered not only the requirements of the standard, but also dealt with ongoing research regarding methods and tools to support automotive electronic designers. In particular an outline of Karyon project was presented. This subject was of particular interest, because the final part of the course was devoted to the discussion about future needs in the application of ISO 26262, and ADAS and cooperative driving were subjects addressed.  

Rolf Johansson from SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden gave a talk in a BeSafe seminar at Volvo on safe cooperative autonomous vehicles in an uncertain environment. The talk has considered both the avionic and in the automotive domains, with scenarios of cooperative autonomous vehicles in mind. He had reviewed the many similarities between the use cases of these branches, and the challenges for the E/E architecture solutions have much in common. The key question of the presentation was how to become able to argue for safety. Rolf showed how KARYON investigates these issues. The talk discussed KARYON’s system solutions for predictable and (functionally) safe coordination of smart vehicles that autonomously cooperate and interact in an open and inherently uncertain environment.

SAFER (Vehicle and Traffic Safety Centre) is a joint research unit where 25 partners from the Swedish automotive industry, academia and authorities cooperate to make a centre of excellence within the field of vehicle and traffic safety. Chalmers and SP held a joint presentation in SAFER about the KARYON overview and the project outlook.
