EMC²
Project Description
Embedded systems are the key innovation driver to improve almost all mechatronic products with cheaper and a permanently increasing number of new functionalities. Furthermore, they strongly support today’s information society as inter-system communication enabler.
Consequently boundaries of application domains are alleviated and ad-hoc connections and interoperability play an increasing role. At the same time, multi-core and many-core computing platforms are becoming available on the market, promising a breakthrough for system (and application) integration, efficiency and performance.
A major industrial challenge arises, facing cost-efficient integration of different applications with different levels of safety and security on a single computing platform in an open context.
The objective of the EMC² project (Embedded multi-core systems for mixed criticality applications in dynamic and changeable real-time environments) is to foster these changes through an innovative and sustainable service-oriented architecture approach for mixed criticality applications dynamic and changeable real-time environments.
The EMC² project focuses on the industrialization of European research outcomes and builds on the results of several previous ARTEMIS, European and National projects. It provides the paradigm shift to a new and sustainable system architecture which is suitable to handle open dynamic systems. EMC² is part of the European Embedded Systems industry strategy to maintain its leading-edge position by providing solutions for:
- Dynamic adaptability in open systems
- Utilization of expensive system features only as service-on-demand in order to reduce the overall system cost
- Handling of mixed criticality applications under real-time conditions
- Scalability and utmost flexibility
- Full-scale deployment and management of integrated tool chains, through the entire lifecycle
EMC² receives funding from the ARTEMIS JU under grant agreement n° 621429 and from the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology under the funding programme “IKT der Zukunft”, (Austrian national funding for ARTEMIS) grant agreement n° 842567.
