1. The ARTEMIS-JU Research Agenda and Annual Work Programme
Presentation for the ARTEMISIA Call1 Info Day Brussels, May 21st 2008
Alun Foster, STMicroelectronics

2. Embedded Systems Challenges and Opportunities
Increasingly complex system design, very demanding applications
At all levels!
From semiconductor chips to large-scale networked systems
100% reliability, safety, time criticality challenge computer science
SW development has become a major bottle neck
No dominant Embedded Systems player, in a fragmented industry
Traditional industrial boundaries converging / cross-fertilising
E.g. Aeronautics / Automotive / Consumer / Telecom
Opportunity and need for cross-industry cooperation
ES’s are the fastest growing sector in Information Technology

6. ARTEMIS JU Annual Work Plan, Call 1 Good results from good preparation
January 2007 – ARTEMISIA Association established
Takes over custodianship of the ARTEMIS ETP and it SRA
Represents the R&D actors in the Joint Undertaking
2007 – ARTEMISIA expert groups derive a Research Agenda proposal for the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking
Technical Research roadmap for the JU, taking the most significant elements of the ARTEMIS SRA
Reference document for the Plans and Calls of the JU

7. From ARTEMIS ETP SRA to the JU RA. The Methodology :
Meet-in-the-middle implementation
Top-down guidance by the ARTEMISIA Steering Board
Industry needs
Societal needs
Bottom-up construction by technical experts
Technological development to meet these

8. ARTEMIS JU Research: First principles
The JU MASP and Research Agenda encapsulates the expectations of the JU stake-holders:
“Think BIG”
= projects with appropriate critical mass to ensure significant impact of result
“Socio-Economic Benefits”
= “... to strengthen European competitiveness and allow the emergence of new markets and societal applications.”
i.e. a focus on key technical problems, solving high-visibility issues with commercially valorisable results
“Multi-national”
= considers national/regional strategic priorities
“Think Different”
= significant and complementary added-value over existing programmes

9. “Think Different” .... How to achieve added value
MASP identifies strategic considerations for implementing research
Targets
ARTEMIS-ETP targets for 2016 re-calibrated for a 5-year horizon (2013), and for downstream research
Positioning wrt FP7 and Eureka clusters
Focus and “Depth of Field” lies between the FP and the (open) nature of e.g. ITEA2
Project size (see “Think Big”)
Encourage appropriate critical mass to assure take-up of results
Downstream
Provides application-orientation to the three Research Domains
Most immediate and visible impact of results
Environment more conducive to SME involvement

10. ARTEMISIA proposals for the ARTEMIS-JU Research Agenda
ARTEMISIA expert groups identify 8 sub-programmes
Address well-known societal concerns
Environment, safety, healthcare, secure employment, ...
... In a viable business context
Relevant for new businesses and growth markets
Each sub-programme is elaborated to embrace the ARTEMIS SRA approach

24. The ARTEMIS-JU Annual Work Plan for 2009 Call 1

25. Annual Work Programme for the First Call
All Sub-Programmes are born equal ...
Strong industrial backing for all addressed sectors
Differentiation of priorities across different member-states
Therefore, all SP’s open in the first call
... but some are more equal than others...
SPs 1, 3 and 5 have a stronger technology orientation
Anticipate that these will attract larger projects in the first call
Natural process - sets the foundation for later work
Estimate: about 50% of total programme manpower will be spent on these three SPs.
(Based on bottom-up analysis of industrial interest during MASP/RA development)

26. ARTEMIS-JU – AWP: Building a better project
General
address at least one Industrial Priority and one sub-programme
include demonstration of core technological developments: show “Critical Mass”
SP1, SP3 and SP5 : encourage “large” projects
Contribution to the Artemis targets
“reduce the cost of the system design from 2005 levels by 15% by 2013, …”.
show intended contribution these targets and propose methods for monitoring progress.
Technology vis-à-vis Application
strong application focus in a realistic industrially relevant context,
short to medium term research and technology development
Co-operation

27. ARTEMIS-JU – AWP: Building a better project (2)
Evolution of markets and market environment
maintain a ‘market watch’ to ensure the continuing relevance of work
Standards & Regulations
standard development and harmonisation, where applicable
Potential “open source” model implementations
Innovation environment
project consortia must be balanced
favouring clustering of SMEs in innovation eco-systems.
