ARTIST Workshop at DATE’05

ARTIST2 Workshop: Embedded Systems Design: An Emerging Unified Discipline

• The workshop’s objectives are to strengthen the links between the ARTIST2 and the DATE communities, through a presentation by prominent members of selected topics which may be of interest. The ARTIST2 Network of Excellence on embedded systems software design aims to strengthen European research in Embedded Systems Design, and promote the emergence of this new multi-disciplinary area.

• To achieve this, ARTIST gathers together the best European teams from the composing disciplines, and aims to forge a scientific community. This interdisciplinary effort in research is mandatory to establish Embedded Systems Design as a discipline combining competencies from electrical engineering, computer science, electronic engineering, applied mathematics, and control theory.

• The ambition is to compete on the same level as equivalent centres in the USA (Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon), for both the production and transfer of knowledge and competencies, and for the impact on industrial innovation.

• The workshop will present overviews of strategic challenges and work directions faced in selected topics within ARTIST, including work on Hard Real-Time systems, Testing and Verification, Timing Analysis, and System-on-Chip. In addition, the workshop will provide an opportunity for discussion around structuring the embedded systems research area in Europe.

• Prominent members of the ARTIST2 NoE and DATE communities, wishing to know more about topics common to both, and to extend contacts and establish long-term links.
