| ACCUS |  | ACCUS : Adaptive Cooperative Control in Urban (sub) Systems
Urban systems like traffic, energy, and outdoor lighting are managed by self-contained embedded systems. New applications and collective optimization require integration of these systems, presenting a “systems of systems” integration problem, managing emergent behavior and taking non-availability of components as the norm. Building on the work of several other ARTEMIS projects, ACCUS aims at methodologies and tools for creating these “systems of systems” that will be validated and demonstrated in two extended use cases in Poland and Italy and with at least four different urban systems. |
| ARROWHEAD |  | Arrowhead : maximize efficiency and flexibility, increase energy efficiency and flexible usage of energy through cooperative automation, in buildings and public infrastructures, manufacturing, process and energy industries.
Society’s energy and competitiveness challenges require new, dynamic interactions between energy producers and consumers, between machines and systems, between people and systems, etc… i.e. cooperative automation, enabled by the Internet of Things and Service Oriented Architectures. Arrowhead will provide a technical framework, including solutions for integrating legacy systems, to implement and evaluate cooperative automation through real application pilots in electro-mobility, smart buildings, infrastructures and cities, industrial production, energy production and the “virtual energy” market, leading the way to further standardization. |
| CONCERTO |  | CONCERTO : Guaranteed Component Assembly with Round Trip Analysis for Energy Efficient High-integrity Multi-core Systems.
New platforms harnessing heterogeneous, multicore embedded architectures for the next generation of mission-critical applications demand across-the-board advances in design and development for which Component-based design with model-driven development creates a potent combination. Building on ARTEMIS-CHESS and several other projects, CONCERTO will deliver a reference framework for multi-core systems, including their non-functional properties, demonstrated for several industrial use cases including aerospace, telecoms, automotive, and medical. |
| COPCAMS |  | COPCAMS : COgnitive & Perceptive CAMeraS
Vision systems are ubiquitous, and complex analysis of images from multiple cameras will become the norm in the future, aimed at extracting meaningful, context-dependent information. Today’s market is dominated by simple, fixed function cameras streaming video to networked gateways but these cannot scale well. COPCAMS aims at a new, many-core programmable accelerator platform for smart cameras and gateways, able to extract relevant information and autonomously react to the environment, operating on a large, distributed scale. |
| CRYSTAL |  | CRYSTAL : Critical System Engineering Acceleration
CRYSTAL aims at fostering Europe’s leading position in engineering quality and cost effective, safety-critical embedded systems. It aims to enable sustainable speeding up of the maturation, integration and cross-sectorial reusability of “technology bricks” for the “factories” for safety-critical systems engineering in transportation (aerospace, automotive, and rail) and healthcare. CRYSTAL fits perfectly with other ARTEMIS projects contributing to the Cooperation Reference Technology Platform (CRTP) initialized by CESAR and will set up a sustainable innovation eco-system, targeting a “de facto” standard for an interoperable European RTP. |
| ESCOP |  | E-SCOP : Embedded systems Service-based Control for Open manufacturing and Process automation.
E-SCOP project is built under ARTEMIS Sub-programme 4: Embedded systems for manufacturing and process automation.
The project aims to overcome the current drawbacks for the shop floor control level (i.e. MES and deterministic /
real-time control), thus improving the state of the art of the overall production control system architecture. This goal is
achieved by introducing an innovative approach based on the combination of 3 different pillars, namely: i) embedded
systems, ii) ontology-based knowledge management and iii) service-oriented architecture. The approach is called Open,
Knowledge-Driven Manufacturing Execution System (OKD-MES).
Traditionally embedded devices have limited resources in terms of memory and processing (CPU) capabilities. However
the development of communication technologies made it possible and affordable to integrate heterogeneous devices into
a large networks as it become possible to implement on embedded devices different protocols stacks developed by World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This includes web services protocols. A number of European and national projects have
already demonstrated how to use web services at the level of embedded devices in the field of manufacturing. However,
the integrated approach for manufacturing system development that would focus on provisioning of missing and supporting
services that operate together with embedded devices has still to be developed. One of the main results for E-SCOP project
is a service-oriented middleware that should allow to build and simulate factory and process control systems.
On general level, the proposed E-SCOP architecture is composed of three layers i) Physical layer, ii) Representation Layer
and iii) Orchestration Layer. |
| HOLIDES |  | HoliDes : Holistic Human Factors and System Design of Adaptive Cooperative Human-Machine Systems.
HoliDes addresses development and qualification of Adaptive Cooperative Human-Machine Systems (AdCoS). Such systems are urgently needed to enhance usability, safety and to increase the confidence of human operators. For this, HoliDes will develop a Human Factors Reference Technology Platform (HF-RTP) to foster interoperability and to support human factors along the whole engineering life-cycle. The HF-RTP will be closely connected to the CESAR RTP to enable holistic development & qualification from both human factors and technical systems design perspectives . |
| WITHME |  | With-Me : The European Platform to Promote Healthy Lifestyle and improve care through a Personal Persuasive Assistant.
With-Me will develop an ecosystem consisting of various embedded devices, including consumer electronics (mobile phone, computer, TV, media centres, etc), dedicated health equipment (HR/BP monitors, activity sensors, glucose analysis devices, etc.), external information sources and personal feedback, and servers providing the necessary computational environment. The ecosystem continuously provides seamless monitoring and persuasive guidance for healthier behaviour. With-Me ensures continuity of personalised assistance thereby reducing the total healthcare cost. |
