Presentation outline 1.Embedded Systems Area 2. Project portfolio after WP Embedded Systems in WP content - instruments - budget 4.Relationship with closest Strategic Objectives

Components integrating software integrating software and hardware jointly and hardware jointly and specifically and specifically designed to provide a given functionality Information World Signals World Embedded Systems - what they are

What is special about Embedded Systems? are tightly coupled to to the physical world are tightly coupled to to the physical world are surrounded by physical processes are surrounded by physical processes are highly resource constrained are highly resource constrained – energy, heat, size, cpu, memory, bandwidth will have to last for a long period of time will have to last for a long period of time interoperability becomes a major issue interoperability becomes a major issue user interface needs to be very simple or none user interface needs to be very simple or none are subject to high or extremely high assurance requirements are subject to high or extremely high assurance requirements

Embedded Systems - Application drivers Consumer Automotive Aerospace Home Automation 90% of the innovation in the car is related to electronics Software for the connected home market will grow from 1,2 million in 2001 to 110 million by 2006 More than a million lines of C code in today’s mobile phones Large part of the of development cost of an airplane is related to software

Embedded Systems - Challenges Requirements: – Reduce costs – Time to market – Optimal quality System-Centric research – Global design – Generic middleware to easy programmability – Integrate advanced control to increase intelligence Both design and middleware can be implemented by hw or sw depending on system needs and constraints

Embedded Systems - Market implications Designs with increased value Designs with increased value Standards will be consolidated Standards will be consolidated An applications development community independent of hardware and infrastructure providers will emerge (comparable to business systems after the consolidation of Internet/Web services) An applications development community independent of hardware and infrastructure providers will emerge (comparable to business systems after the consolidation of Internet/Web services)

Embedded Systems - Workprogramme To develop the next generation of technologies and tools for modelling, implementation and operation of hw/sw systems embedded in intelligent devices To develop the next generation of technologies and tools for modelling, implementation and operation of hw/sw systems embedded in intelligent devices Two priorities: 1) System Design of Embedded Systems 2) Networked Embedded Systems

System Design – Workprogramme (1) Model-based system design, validation and testing Model-based system design, validation and testing – Interoperability at the semantic level of model and tools Design methods, programming models and compilation tools for reconfigurable architectures Design methods, programming models and compilation tools for reconfigurable architectures – Mastering of heterogeneity and predictability Key issues for both are component-based, modular design and addressing heterogeneity Complements “Nanoelectronics” that focus on chip design including SoC and SiP Instruments: IP, STREP, CA, SSA

System Design – Workprogramme (2) Constraints addressed in system design in call 4 goes beyond real-time (e.g. energy, memory, safety, security, QoS) Constraints addressed in system design in call 4 goes beyond real-time (e.g. energy, memory, safety, security, QoS) We want to emphasize the generic aspects across product variants and across sectors We want to emphasize the generic aspects across product variants and across sectors Availability of skills and system view is expected to be addressed in IPs Availability of skills and system view is expected to be addressed in IPs NoE’s are NOT eligible for System Design NoE’s are NOT eligible for System Design

Networked Embedded Systems - WP (1) Middleware for wireless objects to hide the underlying infrastructure and provide open interfaces to third parties for application developmentMiddleware for wireless objects to hide the underlying infrastructure and provide open interfaces to third parties for application development Scalable and selforganising platforms that offer services for ad-hoc networking of very small objects and for mastering complexity through perception techniques for object and event recognitionScalable and selforganising platforms that offer services for ad-hoc networking of very small objects and for mastering complexity through perception techniques for object and event recognition Middleware and platforms for building secure, swarming and fault-tolerant networked embedded systems where diverse physical objects cooperate to achieve a given goal

Networked Embedded Systems - WP (2) While the developed technology must be generic it should be driven by an entire class of ambitious future applications covering not only information handling but also perception and control While the developed technology must be generic it should be driven by an entire class of ambitious future applications covering not only information handling but also perception and control

For both areas Link with ITEA, MEDEA and other relevant programmes should be described Link with ITEA, MEDEA and other relevant programmes should be described Involvement of SMEs Involvement of SMEs – Tool developers and vendors – Technology brokers (SME associations or technology transfer centers)

Embedded Systems - Instruments IP:integrate basic and fundational research, component research and systems engineering and integration consider training activities involve SMEs for component development and consider the participation of technology brokers NoE:creation of virtual research centers on specific scientific domains and including industry STREP:explore emerging technologies or alternative approaches opening new prospects in the field CA:community building and definition of research agendas SSA:international co-operation, SMEs
