MOST Cooperation Opens 2016 MOST Forum Call for Speakers
The MOST® Cooperation – standardization organization for the leading automotive multimedia network technology Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) – invites professionals from the automotive electronics industry and academia to present their latest insights and future visions at the eighth MOST Forum on April19, 2016 in Stuttgart/Esslingen (Germany). Concurrent with the MOST Cooperation“s All Members Meeting, this International conference and exhibition on MOST Technology will bring together an international audience of researchers, designers, engineers, system developers, as well as purchasers, journalists and managers.
Sustainability, Robustness, and New Features of MOST
„The 2015 MOST Forum was themed ‚MOST Versatile Standard‘, examining the sustainability, robustness, and new features of MOST,“ stated Henry Muyshondt, MOST Cooperation Administrator. „MOST provides a powerful architecture with free topology configuration while keeping integration simple. Supporting electrical and optical physical layers, MOST offers the appropriate network architecture for a large group of HD audio/video and IP-based applications.“ Conference presentations examined higher speed rates as well as different physical layers and transceivers. For compliance and quality assurance, presenters looked at virtual prototyping, testing and simulation. Speakers also discussed connectivity to other standards such as AUTOSAR, new features, and simplified access regarding network and system architecture. Besides the MOST Cooperation, AUDI AG, De Pauw, Hamamatsu Photonics, Hyundai, Intrepid Control Systems, K2L, Microchip Technology, KU Leuven, Ruetz System Solutions, Tektronix, Teledyne LeCroy, Telemotive, and X2E presented their innovative MOST solutions and applications.

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, MOST is used in over 180 car models 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 further 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.
