However, the introduction of software-defined approaches in safety and security-critical industries, such as smart cities, factories or mobility, presents many caveats. In the talk, we are dissecting the blueprints for safe and secure developments in the automotive industry, applied to automated and autonomous driving. The audience would be offered a comprehensible overview of how modern standards, such as ASPICE, ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 can be applied in companies to construct a compelling safety and security case for road vehicles and their items. Caveats and key challenges around software complexity will be presented, giving ideas on how to bridge the gap between the agility and somewhat ad-hoc practices of present-day software engineers, with the rigor required to deliver safe and secure solutions. }, howpublished = {M32}, keywords = {automotive, consumer electronics, cybersecurity, functional safety}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @conference{ICCE2024, title = {Designing a safe autonomous vehicle computer - where we are, where we should be and a hands-on example}, author = {Milan Z.

The objective of this paper is to propose a learning model suitable for application in lifelong learning setting, aimed at agile education of engineers in the computer engineering field. One example course that follows this learning model is presented in detail. The learning model was applied in courses offered to computer engineers working in consumer and automotive industries. Learning effectiveness of the proposed model was measured by summative assessment in the courses. Experiences from learners that were collected in the end-of-course surveys provide insight into positive and negative aspects of this learning model.

As the name proposes, the main goal of these systems is to provide entertainment and informational content to the driver and passengers. Automotive industry is undergoing dramatic changes nowadays and there is a lack of standards for what operating system should be applied to certain vehicle display. Availability of Android operating system (AOS) on most of the modern portable devices and ability to re-use existing tested and reliable applications, encourage automotive industry to integrate AOS in vehicles, usually in head unit display. The goal is to build systems that will be easy to handle. It will impose minimal distraction of the driver. One way to achieve higher safety level while in traffic is by allowing driver to manipulate two or more applications simultaneously. This work is based on expanding multimedia system in the vehicle based on Android operating system so it can show two or more apps at the same time while using this new Android component called ActivityView.

Cockpits nowadays consist of a safety critical and a non-critical parts. The critical part of the system is the one that is necessary for safe driving, while the non-critical part of the system represents additional functionalities that make driving easier and more comfortable, but without them safe driving is possible. Each part of the system is displayed on a separate screen in a specific part of the cockpit. There are usually three displays - Central Information Display (CID) that represents non-critical part of the system, digital control panel - Cluster and Head-up display (HUD) that represent critical part of the system. These displays are controlled by two operating systems, which are connected by the hypervisor. A hypervisor is a concept that enables two operating systems to run simultaneously on one SoC in real- time. When critical and non-critical parts of a system are connected, it brings many safety issues. One of the problems is that sometimes information that is not necessary for safe driving, such as: information about an incoming call, the current song being played, is displayed on the Cluster. Displaying this information can affect the safety of Cluster operations. Therefore, it is necessary to somehow separate processing and displaying important from less important information for safe driving. In this paper we present one solution for displaying the maps information from the non- critical part of the system, on screen layer above Cluster that represents safety-critical part of the system.}, howpublished = {M33}, keywords = {automotive, HMI, ieeexplore, infotainment}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @article{2021ro, title = {Simple Framework for Efficient Development of the Functional Requirement Verification-specific Language}, author = {Srdan Popic and Nikola Teslic and Milan Z.

This is a story of my software stack and me travelling, unscathed, following the challenging functional safety and reliability trail. In the keynote, I would give an initial proposal of a reliability estimation method for a Central Vehicle Computer which is dominated by software. The method would first address hardware reliability through the definition of key components, component failure rates and reliability block diagrams, which are based on current proposals of Central Vehicle Computer architectures with dual and triple redundancy, available in industry and research. Then, key software components are identified and positioned, with appropriate classification. Where appropriate, reliability of such components is estimated by means of test statistics obtained from field-trials and laboratory experiments, and also by applying software reliability growth models. Through a combined, flexible approach, inability of identifying systematic faults in modern software algorithms which are based on big data and artificial intelligence (AI) would be addressed, emphasizing the software upgrades as mandatory routine which shall be regularly performed.

This paper presents a solution on how to warn the driver of the presence of obstacles or other cars in the immediate vicinity by using vibrations as a medium for transmitting messages between the car and the driver. Objects in the immediate vicinity are detected by various sensors and cameras, and then this information is used to make decisions about the nature of the alerts to be activated. In this paper, the hardware and software for the realization of this solution are presented. The system consists of a vibrating seat, a sensor (camera), a controller and a software solution. The principle of operation is as follows: when there is an obstacle on the right side of the vehicle, such as a passing car or some other obstacle, the seat will vibrate on the right side to inform the driver about the existence of an obstacle. The intensity of the vibrations corresponds to the distance from the obstacle, the stronger vibrations correspond to the object that is closer to the car. Thus, vibrations will alert the driver to the presence and distance of an obstacle or a passing car.}, howpublished = {M33}, keywords = {ADAS, automotive, HMI}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @conference{2020tfb, title = {Proposal for visual warnings system in the automotive digital cockpit using graphics sharing}, author = {Milan Manic and Milan Z.

The number of ECUs can be lowered by using SoCs with a hypervisor. A hypervisor is a concept that enables us to run two operating systems on one SoC in real-time. The content from both operating systems can be rendered and presented in the same display output. The proposed system consists of one SoC with two operating systems running on a hypervisor. With this proposed solution, we were able to simultaneously render content from both operating systems on one display output. The proposed solution also covers the rendering of media content on display that is hosted on a different operating system and therefore enables mixed criticality where safety-critical information, such as those presented in the cluster, are presented with no interference with the non-critical operations, such as media rendering.

These trends are widely present in consumer electronics and do not bypass automotive electronics either. There is an evident recent growth in in-vehicle infotainment, telematics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) and cluster development. The number of electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicle constantly grows. Since typical vehicle ECU is providing one function per vehicle, it becomes harder for manufacturers to manage these ECUs due to diverse nature of the system, hence a rising demand for ECU consolidation exists. With the availability of sophisticated hardware, powerful system-on-chips (SoCs) can be used for multiple functions inside a vehicle. The transition toward less ECUs is an ongoing process, in which software needs to be aligned first and then transferred to the same SoC. This paper presents the software platform for heterogeneous immersive in-vehicle environments, providing a step in software consolidation, by allowing same abstractions for diverse applications executing on various hardware platforms. It proposes a framework for the scalable development of ADAS from consumer level to different automotive safety levels, provides unified access toward algorithm building blocks, multi-sensor real-time environment and easy integration of algorithms, thus enabling shorter development time.}, howpublished = {M22}, keywords = {ADAS, automotive, ieeexplore, software framework}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @conference{Pajic2018, title = {Integrating Android to Next Generation Vehicles}, author = {Nemanja Pajic and Milan Z.

This paper presents an integrated environment of mobile devices and digital TVs connected to the Internet used as a platform for exploring both traditional and novel gaming concepts in either a single living room or across different homes connecting multiple living rooms. To create such an environment a framework was developed enabling the implementation of distributed social games, using the digital TV as a display showing game content public to all players and using the available personal mobile devices as controllers and displays showing private portions of the game. The framework also allows the innovative use of broadcast related information and social media during game play. Five different games were developed using the framework. The framework effectiveness was evaluated by comparing TV-centric games developed with and without the framework using size and complexity metrics, additionally application responsiveness was measured using a game developed without and with the framework and compared with a state-of-the-art game controller. The experience of playing the developed games was obtained by collecting and analyzing self-reported data using a questionnaire combined with additional observations from volunteers and researchers.}, howpublished = {M21}, keywords = {digital TV, gaming, smart homes, software framework}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @conference{Bjelica2015b, title = {Modern Approaches in Graphical User Interfaces Development for Set-Top Box Devices and Television Sets}, author = {Milan Z.

Devices have started to perform complex functions, given the two key enablers. The first enabler is a high level of integration and the ubiquity of System On Chip (SoC) components. The second enabler is the broadband connectivity access (the Internet). Complex functional requirements are followed with a new graphical user interface (UI) requirements. The focus of this paper is to present methods of the development of graphical user interfaces for TV and set-top box (STB) devices, which became ubiquitous thanks to the terrestrial television digitalization and the overall growth in service offerings by operators. New offers, such as IPTV, Video On Demand, Catch Up TV etc. all require a new approach to the design of graphical user interface (GUI) for the TV screen. TV GUI today has become a key feature of a TV device. It enables users to easily access vast number of available functions. Additionally, it is a key brand differentiator for operators, in their attempt to avoid customer churn and to attract new customers. Within this paper we present modern directions in STB and TV GUI development, regarding the present day market and current research and development efforts in both industry and academia. A novel GUI development method classification is given, followed by an appropriate discussion. Finally, we present several real world GUI development examples which are carried out within the RT-RK Institute in Novi Sad, Serbia.}, howpublished = {M63}, keywords = {digital TV, software framework, user interface}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @conference{Nad2015, title = {Integration of STB platform video playback into 3D graphical user inteface}, author = {Dejan Nad and Milan Knezevic and Nenad Jovanovic and Milan Z.

This paper proposes a context-aware platform that can help mitigate the negative effects of interruptions in human work and living.

This information is announced to possible interrupters (e.g., household members and software application) by using a web portal, lighting effects, or interfaces to a home automation system or any other interested entity in the local network. This paper presents several contributions to the field. Platform architecture is considered scalable enough to fit to a variety of today's consumer devices and smart home systems. The experiments were conducted to show the effectiveness of the platform usage within a living room area, as opposed to the traditional office contexts where the availability tends to be easier to determine.

The method exploits the fact that the human body interferes with radio signals by introducing irregularities in the radio signature which indicate possible human presence, given in a form of received signal strength indicator's (RSSI) variations. According to this phenomenon, a human presence can be detected within a specific area, or in a particular zone, by providing the information to the system for unobtrusive interaction with the human subject in real-time.

The proposed algorithm for human presence detection is implemented as a software module that can be easily incorporated into a variety of wireless systems (including the aforementioned smart LED bulbs, or any other wireless nodes) without high processing and memory loads of the system's resources.

IPTV, IP-based communications, social networking and web browsing are among the newest addons to the traditional digital TV concepts. This paper presents an integration concept and the implemented solution of a communication client application for a set-top box device. The communication client is provided as an add-on to the set-top box in the form of USB flash thumb drive. In addition to the voice call and messages, more advanced challenges are recognized and implemented for this application, with regard to the ubiquitous computing concept: context-aware features including an automatic profile selection based on the activities and the availability of people watching the TV, as calculated by the use of embedded sensors and proposed algorithms; the announcement of the selected profile by the use of RGB lighting effects for the RF-controlled RGB luminaires in the living room. These suggested features aim to improve the two most general usability problems of communication client applications applied to the specific set-top box solution. Firstly, interrupting the users by the notifications produced by the application can induce negative effects to user satisfaction and/or stress, if those notifications unexpectedly occur during engaging activities, such as watching the favorite TV show or talking to a friend in the room. Therefore, automatic profile selection based on detected user activities can mitigate these situations and provide the most suitable means of notifying the user for each specific situation of his/her engagement. Secondly, ignorance of the selected profile by other people interacting in person is accounted for by the announcement of the availability by using lighting stimuli.}, howpublished = {M22}, keywords = {availability estimation, context-aware, digital TV, ieeexplore, smart homes, user monitoring}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @patent{Mrazovac2011, title = {Method and system for wireless detecting presence of individuals automation of domestic electrical installations}, author = {Bojan Mrazovac and Milan Z.

The invention includes the system and method for detecting the presence of the user applied to the automatic control of lighting and other domestic installations using an existing wireless communication network and the changes of the signal strength indicator value (in English: Received Signal Strength Indicator - RSSI) between the stationary communication nodes. The presented method involves monitoring the change in value of the RSSI by disruption of the initial value of the established communication field between the nodes within the premises due to the entry/exit of an individual in the room. The entry of an individual into the established field of communication causes the change of RSSI that is periodically read after any exchange of messages between the nodes. Based on detected changes, a control signal is generated which will be transmitted to the central control unit that converts the signal into a command for room lighting control or other domestic electrical appliances. Implementation of the system includes at least two nodes, which are at the domestic installation level implemented in the form of the smart socket and the smart switch for lighting and the central control unit as a device for managing exchange of messages and commands. These basic units of the system communicate with each other, follow the change of RSSI between the nodes and based on the crossing preset thresholds of signal strength variation, perform the control of room lighting. In addition to the lighting control, the system manages any electrical device connected to the smart sockets by their switching on or off if it is the required and predefined operation.}, howpublished = {M92}, keywords = {RSSI, smart homes}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {patent} } @conference{wseas1, title = {Context-aware lighting as an immersive user interface for mediating social interactions}, author = {Milan Z.

Additionally, ambient intelligence requirements include playback timeline programming, interaction with sensors and event-based playback triggering. Normally there is a central server dedicated to content storage and streaming to one or more spatially displaced viewing screens. In this paper we present a newly developed portable software library that provides mechanisms to control multimedia distribution and playback from one or more content servers, to multiple screens. The control is based on UPnP/DLNA protocol stack, therefore supporting integration of many off-the-shelf UPnP/DLNA compatible multimedia servers or playback devices. The primary goal is to interpret custom scripts written to achieve desired multimedia ambient. These scripts provide control over content distribution and playback based on time triggers and external, arbitrary events, such as sensor readings and user commands. The library provides faster response to a control command in comparison to traditional UPnP control points. Content providers and their physical addresses are hidden from users enforcing the concept of a media "cloud" to fetch the content from. Content can also be distributed to multiple targets at once, whereas it retains control synchronization.}, howpublished = {M33}, keywords = {ieeexplore, smart homes}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @conference{Mrazovac2010, title = {Fast video decoder for low-cost embedded CPUs: A software solution and a case study}, author = {Bojan Mrazovac and Milan Z.

In this paper we present a cheap and simple video decoder which decodes and displays another video stream, thus allowing parallel visualization of two video streams. The decoder utilizes modified MPEG-2 decoding algorithm, which decodes and displays only certain frames (I-frames) and their elements (DC coefficients per each block of pixels). DC coefficients of each I-frame are collected in order to create a picture. Described approach is applied for a digital TV set-top box as a support for Picture-in-Picture functionality.

Problems that should be attended range from sensing a complex environment and recognizing user activity, to prediction and personalization of system services. This paper proposes a User Awareness Kit (UAK) that can be used as a slave system with a variety of consumer electronic devices. UAK combines sensor inputs (passive infrared sensor, microphone array, time of flight camera) with behavior models based on system attentiveness and user-system interference concepts, to provide information of the ecosystem of users to its host. UAK is designed as a system on chip (SoC) that shares that information by using a simple interprocessor protocol. As a result, host device would be able to anticipate user actions and adapt accordingly. We argue that equipping consumer electronic devices with UAK can mitigate risks of device rejection by users.
