Project Proposals

All ASAM OpenX standards are part of a pilot project that proposes a new standardization process for ASAM (ASAM OpenX Proof-of-Concept - PoC). This new process foresees smaller and more agile projects. We invite you to have a look at the current proposals, to enroll in the projects and to join the discussion:

ASAM OpenX Proof of Concept (PoC)

ASAM is piloting a new approach to standards development in the Simulation domain. With this pilot project, we address feedback from current projects as well as the growing need for greater alignment across ASAM standards. 

This new approach aims to be more open, flexible, transparent, and collaborative. The key corner stones of the process are as follows: 

1. Proposal Submission:
   Anyone (members and non-members) can submit ideas, change requests, bug reports, and feature requests via GitLab   and link to relevant technical discussions. 
2. Proposal Review & Approval:
   We have installed a Change Control Board (CCB) for an initial assessment of new projects as well as a Coordination Group for alignments across different standards within the Simulation domain. The final approval remains with the Technical Steering Committee (TSC).
3. Project Development:
   Projects are designed to be shorter and more focused, addressing specific use cases, features or small maintenance fixes. Project participation is still requiring ASAM membership.
4. Standard release process: 
   When a project is feature-complete, it is shared with domain experts (sign up here   select 'Simulation') for review and submitted to the CCB for approval. When the CCB approves the developments, a project ends and the content is assigned to a release milestone for integration into the next release of the standard(s) it affects.
   When the CCB decides to release a new version, all assigned features are integrated into the release candidate. The release candidate then undergoes the regular public review process (rules of the regular development process apply) before it is finally approved by first the CCB, then the TSC.

With this new process, we expect standards development to become faster, foster stronger industry alignment, and increase collaboration.

All stakeholders are invited to get involved: submit proposals, join the discussions, and track milestones.
