| CRAFTERS |  | CRAFTERS aims to significantly reduce total cost of ownership, time-to-market and the number of development assets by introducing a holistically designed ecosystem from application to silicon through a tightly integrated multi-vendor solution and tool chain that complements existing standards.
ICT-based service and product innovation in Europe is being inhibited by the growing vertical chain of dependence on poorly interoperable proprietary technologies. This issue has a high impact on European innovation productivity so incentives are needed for the convergence of shared technologies and markets as well as public support for creating standardised, commercial ecosystems in European priority areas.
CRAFTERS will enable feature-limited releases of reference tools and platforms will become available to support the evaluation and adoption of the results.

| DEMANES |  | DEMANES aims to provide component-based methods, framework and tools for the development of runtime adaptive systems, enabling them to react to changes in themselves, in their environment and in user needs.
Major societal challenges require large-scale monitoring and control solutions. Technological developments will make it possible to design and build these large systems. However, a versatile methodology is lacking to design and implement these systems so DEMANES aims to model the architecture and the operation of adaptive systems and support the design process. DEMANES will incorporate recent advances in systems and control engineering.
The concept, methodology and tools developed in DEMANES will be validated and demonstrated in three use cases: smart urban transport, smart airport and smart home.

| DESERVE |  | With the market of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) expected to grow rapidly over the next five years, DESERVE aims to build an innovation ecosystem for European leadership in ADAS embedded systems, based on the automotive R&D actors, with possible applications in other industrial domains.
This market growth will be possible only through the reduction of costs of components as well as the seamless integration of different functions in the same architecture so DESERVE will design and build an ARTEMIS Tool Platform to manage the expected increase of function complexity and necessary cost reduction.
Driver support will be enhanced by an advanced human-centred design strategy integrated in the tool platform while the applications developed will provide natural and driver-friendly support and appropriate levels of overall functional safety.

| EGOTHAM |  | The main objective of project e-GOTHAM is to implement a new aggregated energy demand model (based on the microgrid concept) to effectively integrate renewable energies sources, increase management efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, raise energy consumption awareness and stimulate the development of a leading-edge market for energy-efficient technologies.
In designing an open architecture and developing a middleware that enables the communications needed to optimise management and the results, the challenge is to assemble a system that can ensure enough scalability, security, reliability, real time measurements and interoperability.
e-GOTHAM seeks to meet the needs of the respective market partners and to influence consumers and the regulatory authorities. Creating an ecosystem is intended to attract relevant stakeholders willing to develop the project results into new products and services and to support a new aggregated energy demand model even beyond the project lifetime.

| NSAFECER |  | nSafeCer targets increased efficiency and reduced time-to-market via the composable safety certification of safety-relevant embedded systems. Through the development of efficient and industrial-strength methods and processes for the development and certification of these systems, European industry can achieve a leading position in the growing global market of safety-relevant embedded systems.
Improved quality and reduced risk during verification, qualification and certification will not only boost European industry competitiveness but also pave the way for a cross-domain market for certified components. The main industrial domains targeted in nSafeCer are aerospace, automotive, construction equipment and railway.
nSafeCer brings together leading companies and SMEs across Europe (including technology, tool and competence providers as well as certification and standardisation experts) with the aim of realising and the nSafeCer goals.

| PAPP |  | The PaPP project aims to make performance predictable in every development phase, from system modelling and implementation to execution by enabling the early specification and analysis of system performance and adaptation to different hardware platforms, including an adaptive runtime system.
Modern of today´s advanced products use embedded computing systems with exacting requirements on execution speed, timeliness and power consumption. The methods and tools developed during the project will be evaluated according to a number of industrial use cases and demonstrators in three key European industry application domains: Multimedia, Avionics and Space, and Mobile Communication.
To achieve our goals we have built a highly skilled European consortium consisting of a balanced mix of problem owners, domain experts and technology providers: from large enterprises and SME’s to research institutes and universities.

| SESAMO |  | SESAMO will enable the cost-efficient and systematic design, analysis, development and assessment of distributed safety and security critical embedded systems. The results will have broad, cross-domain applicability in numerous strategic sectors of European industry.
The SESAMO project addresses the root causes of problems arising with the convergence of safety and security in embedded systems at architectural level. The proposal is to develop a component-oriented design methodology based upon model-driven technology, jointly addressing safety and security aspects and their interrelation for networked embedded systems in multiple domains (e.g., avionics, transportation, industry control).
The relevance of the SESAMO results is guaranteed by the involvement of large partners with significant economic interests in safety and security critical systems in the use case domains, a sound group of technology providers (including SMEs) and prestigious research entities with in-depth and complementary multi-domain expertise.

| VARIES |  | The main goal of the VARIES project is deliver a platform to help Embedded Systems developers to maximise the full potential of variability in safety critical embedded systems. The focus will be on the safety critical aspects, in particular the impact of reuse and composition on certification.
Embedded systems developers constantly confront decisions about using and adapting existing products or product assets versus new developments. And producers of complex embedded systems often face the added problem of assembling parts supplied by different partners. Hence the need for mechanisms that allow safe and trusted integration.
In addition to this ambitious goal, the VARIES project will create a Centre of Innovation Excellence (CoIE) for managing variability in Embedded Systems and offer appropriate support for the European Embedded Systems industry.

| VETESS |  | The VeTeSS project will develop standardised tools and methods to verify the robustness of safety-relevant systems, particularly to combat transient common-cause faults. European industry will benefit from vendors being able to supply standard components for multiple applications.
Bringing together partners from every part of the supply chain, VeTeSS will develop automated, quantitative processes for use at all stages of development. Development costs and time to market will be reduced, even with the increasing complexity of embedded systems and software. The focus of VeTeSS is the strategically important automotive market.
The results of the project will boost the competitiveness of the European embedded hardware and software industry by improving the safety, quality and reliability of products and enabling innovative technologies to increase road user safety. Society will benefit from fewer accidents and related costs.
