ASAM has released two new standards, ASAM MCD-2 CERP and ASAM CPX, which are the foundation of a new class of tools in the automotive industry that are commonly called "Calibration Expert Systems". The standards provide a language and exchange format to capture expert knowledge about the Calibration of ECU software. They allow to formally describe Calibration processes and parameter dependencies, automatically execute and check them, and pass them on to other experts or business partners.

The ASAM Board of Directors has confirmed that the ASAM organization is planning to expand its work scope towards an area broadly labeled "Telematics". The topic is closely aligned to the recent ASAM International Conference topic of Big Data held in Dresden, Germany. The member organization Cummins Inc. has approached ASAM with the request to further develop use cases relating to "Remote Two Way Communications” as a first step in a Standard development process.

ASAM is investigating big data topics for standardization: The second International Conference focused on Big Data in Future Car Development – Chances for Engineering, Value for the Driver. The conference gave an overview on current best practices from the car industry and opened up the discussion with the IT industry.
