Real-Time & Embedded Systems Forum
SMA (First Afternoon Session)

Objective of Meeting

The first session of the afternoon was devoted to advancing the work of the Secure Mobile Architecture (SMA), a joint (RT&ES and Security Forums) Working Group.  The second afternoon session was devoted to RT&ES Forum status and updates to provide members with the most current status of the RT&ES activities and deliverables.

Summary

Steve Venema, from Boeing, gave an opening presentation on SMA to set the current status and direction he proposes for the Working Group. He presented the SMA Charter and members approved minor additions to the draft. Steve then invited project members to contribute use-cases based on their mobile requirements in real-life application areas, from which we will expect to derive a set of common requirements as input to the SMA standard.  Steve proposed a template for filling in each use-case.

Outputs

A set of nine proposed use-case topics, with individuals assigned to complete them, was assembled, and a timeline also agreed for bringing them together. Members not present at the meeting will be invited to add their use-case contributions.

Next Steps

A follow-up call will be scheduled for the first week of March. A face-to-face meeting will occur at the next Open Group members' meeting (Rome during the last week of April). Other face-to-face Working Group meetings may be desirable; we will discuss any potential need for this on the next call.
