In May 2020, ASAM cracked the mark of 300 active member organizations. And within the last two months, another 20 companies have joined. This rapid member increase is to a large degree triggered by the new ASAM standardization domain "Is the process of imitation of the behavior of a modeled real-world system over time.Simulation" which drives a new group of experts to ASAM. Remarkable: Many of the new members are from Europe, Asia and North America. Today, more than half of the member companies are from abroad: ASAM has grown into a truly international organization. 

ASAM e.V. (Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems) announces the release of the first A public specification, which has been developed by experts in a defined consensus-driven development process and was released by officials that represent a significant share of the industry for which it is targeted, giving the specification the necessary legitimacy to be called a 'Standard'.standard that has been completely developed outside of Europe: ASAM HMS (HEX File Management System) was developed in Japan by automotive heavyweights such as Toyota, Honda and Hino and their suppliers. This proves that ASAM is gaining in importance and influence internationally. ASAM HMS describes an interface to associate Is data which provides information about other data. metadata to so-called HEX files that are used for the development and test of complex and interconnected Electronic Control Units (ECUs). It is particularly relevant for the development of highly automated and autonomous driving functions.

ASAM is proud to announce its support of the "Smart Vehicle for Sustainable Mobility” contest conducted by the Driving Is the process of imitation of the behavior of a modeled real-world system over time.Simulation Association in the context of the Driving Is the process of imitation of the behavior of a modeled real-world system over time.Simulation & Virtual Reality Conference 2020 (DSC).

Prostep ivip Association and ASAM e.V. (Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems) signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in the field of Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Purpose of the cooperation is to harmonize requirements and applications of standards and norms from both sides, thus facilitating modeling and Is the process of imitation of the behavior of a modeled real-world system over time.simulation for autonomous driving of level 4 and 5.
