Course number: 01KO137
- Gain a concise overview of current E/E architecture trends and their impact on hardware and software design.
- Delve into technical sessions on how high-performance domain computers, SoCs, and virtualization are used and integrated.
- Discuss how to anchoring safety, security, and time sync requirements in architecture, OTA updates, and validation.
The international VDI conference “Automotive Data Communication” on June 23 and 24, 2026, in Stuttgart will highlight the status and further development of data-driven E/E architectures in vehicles — with a practical focus on zonal E/E architectures, automotive Ethernet, SerDes/PCIe, TSN, CAN FD / CAN XL, cloud connectivity, and safety & security.
Discuss with engineers and software experts how zonal concepts enable software-defined vehicle functions via updates and what requirements this places on high-performance computers, determinism, time synchronization, and testing/validation.
Technical solutions and economic considerations will be addressed in presentations and panel discussions. Take advantage of the accompanying exhibition and extensive networking opportunities to gain access to relevant products and partners.
If you would like to give a presentation or have any questions about the conference program, please contact Nicolas Regiani.
