Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a processor based computer system for enabling an implementer to select software for deployment to a vehicle control system. The system can include a processor based computer system that is configured to perform a first identifying step that includes identifying available V2X applications for the system, a second evaluation step that includes evaluating parameters for the V2X applications identified in the first identifying step, and a third ranking step that includes raising or lowering the ranking of each V2X application based on the second evaluation step.
