  • Automotive Foundational Software Solutions for the Modern Vehicle Overview
    www.qnx.com AUTOMOTIVE FOUNDATIONAL SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS FOR THE MODERN VEHICLE OVERVIEW Dear colleagues in the automotive industry, We are in the midst of a pivotal moment in the evolution of the car. Connected and autonomous cars will have a place in history alongside the birth of industrialized production of automobiles, hybrid and electric vehicles, and the globalization of the market. The industry has stretched the boundaries of technology to create ideas and innovations previously only imaginable in sci-fi movies. However, building such cars is not without its challenges. AUTOMOTIVE SOFTWARE IS COMPLEX A modern vehicle has over 100 million lines of code and autonomous vehicles will contain the most complex software ever deployed by automakers. In addition to the size of software, the software supply chain made up of multiple tiers of software suppliers is unlikely to have common established coding and security standards. This adds a layer of uncertainty in the development of a vehicle. With increased reliance on software to control critical driving functions, software needs to adhere to two primary tenets, Safety and Security. SAFETY Modern vehicles require safety certification to ISO 26262 for systems such as ADAS and digital instrument clusters. Some of these critical systems require software that is pre-certified up to ISO 26262 ASIL D, the highest safety integrity level. SECURITY BlackBerry believes that there can be no safety without security. Hackers accessing a car through a non-critical ECU system can tamper or take over a safety-critical system, such as the steering, brakes or engine systems. As the software in a car grows so does the attack surface, which makes it more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

  • Berries Feature Edition Sweet, Juicy, Luscious Berries—The Herald of Spring, the Assurance of Summer
    June 2019 Berries Feature Edition Sweet, juicy, luscious berries—the herald of spring, the assurance of summer. Whether you favor strawberries or raspberries, blackberries or blueberries, the National Clean Plant Network is working hard to make sure you have your fill. Collectively, those four crops had a farm gate value in excess of $4 Billion in the U.S. in 2017. Species in the genera Fragaria (strawberry), Rubus (raspberry and blackberry), Vaccinium (blueberry and cranberry), Ribes (currant and gooseberry) and Sambucus (elderberry) are included in the NCPN-Berries charter. Others may follow if there is interest. The beginning of NCPN-Berries The berry industries have been involved with NCPN since the first workshop held in Riverdale, Maryland in May 2007 where an initial strategic plan for NCPN was developed. Several berry representatives participated in NPCN meetings in 2008 and 2009. An organizing meeting for berries was held in the fall of 2009 where industry members, scientists and regulators agreed to move forward. NCPN-Berries was recognized as an official Tier 2 group in 2010. Since then, the NCPN-Berries network (NCPN-B) has worked to provide clean plants to berry nurseries, improve awareness of the importance of clean plants, educate growers and nurseries on effects of virus diseases and help determine the cause of a devastating outbreak of strawberry viruses in Florida and take measures for future prevention. Efforts are underway to enhance the capacity of NCPN-B and to build in some redundancy, especially for plant cultivars that are in high demand. Pictured clock-wise from top left; blueberry blossoms on the bush; fresh, harvested raspberries; a row of blackberry bushes; strawberry cluster on the plant.
