European Project Proposal To Head For Negotiation Phase

The effort developed by CISTER/INESC-TEC in the last open call for research projects in the strategic ARTEMIS initiative is now giving its results as one of the project proposals is well headed into negotiations regarding its funding and approval. It is expected that the project can start early 2014.

The project, EMC2 (Embedded multi-core systems for mixed criticality applications in dynamic and changeable real-time environments) is an Artemis Innovation Pilot Project (AIPP) large project involving many large industrial partners, such as EADS, Thales, Infineon Technologies, Ericsson, BMW, Volvo, Philips Healthcare or Siemens.

The CISTER team in the project, lead by researcher Eduardo Tovar, will be involved in several of the research activities of the project, namely In “Executable Application Models and Design Tools for Mixed-Critical, Multi-Core Embeddded Systems” , “Dynamic Runtime Environments and Services” and “Multi-core Hardware Architectures and Concepts, and in two of the Living Labs (use cases).CISTER and Critical software lead a use case in the automotive area, being CISTER also involved in an avionics use case led by EADS.
